If I lie in my back or left side at night. I feel them. They make me cough to get my heart back into rhythm. It’s annoying as hell! I’ve also found weight gain makes them worse too. I already have a congenital ventricular septal defect and I have to take blood pressure meds for that (which I hate). I was put on metoprolol a few months ago when the pvc’s were constant for several hours. Scared me so bad, I went to the ER. After that episode, they went away for a really long time. Now, they’re back. Not as bad, but still annoying. My mother died at 50 after having had a cardiac bypass. I am in constant fear that my heart is going to blow any minute. I’ve had every test imaginable and am told it’s fine. Doesn’t make me feel better though.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder tends to keeps the stress hormones up for long periods of time. Anxiety is almost always the culprit but you cannot ignore other possible triggers like stomach issues and improper diet both having a negative impact on your vagus nerve.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250342325237366333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-633924601965997202018-07-28T02:58:43.389-07:002018-07-28T02:58:43.389-07:00Its all about position and stomach. When your stom...Its all about position and stomach. When your stomach is swelling and if you bend your self all the time, like sitting at wrong position and bending, it causes pressure on vagus nerve which brakes electric signals and changes heart beat time which then feels like your heart skips but in fact it doesnt. It just beats early.<br /><br />I lived with PVC for 4.5 years. I have learned to fix it. First of all you have to accept it. It is going to happen for the rest of your life. The moment you accept this, it will start to cool down. Do NOT fight with it. If you dont have any other heart issue diagnosed by your hearth doctor but only PVC problem, beta blockers makes it worst, trust me I have used all of them in the past.<br /><br />So what is the solution<br />It never goes completely, understand this first. However, it happens time to time that you even forget it. For example it happens to me between 3 months 1 time or between 6 months 2 times now.<br /><br />What I did<br />I stop figthing it and I accept that it is going to happen forever. Do NOT bend your self while you sit, do NOT bend your self while you drive a car. These two triggers the issue slowly not immediate.Do NOT masturbate. It sounds funny but masturbation cause squeezing on your stomach and whole body. You can find tons of questions on google about masturbation and PVC. Have an active sex life, which does not cause PVC and to be honest it helps PVC to be fixed.<br /><br />Drink ACV (Apple Cidar Vinegar) after lunch and dinner, just a tablespoon of pure ACV into glass of water and drink half of it after lunch, drink the rest after dinner, your stomach will be okay.<br /><br />Stress relation between PVC, it is not directly stress, the stress person has always have a bad stomach, swelling stomach and instentines which causes pressure on vagus nerve the main reason of PVC is this. So if you are unable to fix the stress, fix your stomach with ACV and thank me later.<br /><br />This is how I fixed the PVC in my life. It was happening everyday for 4.5 years even while sleeping. Now it only happens 1 time in 3 months or 6 months.<br />Shaqunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320470323191134411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-79358298526506605172018-07-28T01:02:57.403-07:002018-07-28T01:02:57.403-07:00I've tried mostly beta blockers, first it was ...I've tried mostly beta blockers, first it was Atenolol and it slowed my heart rate down to about 41 beats per minute at night, I was afraid to go to sleep and instead of reducing my dosage my cardiologist wanted to put in a pacemaker,CRAZY I KNOW. So I cut my dosage down myself and I seem to be okay but I would tell my doctor that the medication was making my PVCs worse so they put me on bisoprolol which seem to work good at the beginning and then my pvc seem to be getting worse right after I took my medication, it was definitely noticeable. I forgot to mention the reason I was on the medication is because I had sleep apnea and I was waking up with Afib which was being caused by the sleep apnea. Since then I've gotten my nose fixed and lost a bunch of weight and my sleep apnea is much bette, and now I just stopped my bisoprolol a couple of months ago and I've been doing just fine so far. I look at it this way when I first started having my afib I was on no medication and I did just fine it seems like the medications the doctors give you just make things worse. I also wanted to let you know that my PVCs get worse when I eat a meal and if I eat and then lay down to go to sleep I can't do that. I have to lay down with an empty stomach and then I'm ok. I always thought I was pushing on my vagus nerve just like what you guys are talking about that has a lot to do with everything with the heart. Also eating too much sugar makes my PVCs worse too. Ok, I guess I'm done. I'm talking too much, thanks.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14678171110488122058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-11145655365253161752018-06-27T11:18:15.349-07:002018-06-27T11:18:15.349-07:00The other very strong connection i have also notic...The other very strong connection i have also noticed is PVCs and Systemic Candida. Which would also tide nicely into stress and vegus nerve. Candida once overgrown and is in its fungal form causes a great deal of chemical stress not to mention very wide range of physical sympthoms which will definatelly cause anxiety and emotional stress. It also high jacks vegus nerve to communicate to the brain its need for sugar therefore strong sugar cravings are always a sign of candida trouble. The toxins it releases are also tide to sore muscles, specially neck which creates tension on vegus nerve not to mention digestive troubles that also affect vegus nerve connection. When i go on a Candida Diet i get strong PVCs from the diet off and when i excercise for a long time with the relaxation effect of excercise and all the detox from sweating my Candida symphtoms and PVCs lessen dramatically.

We all have helicobacter but few get ulcers.

The source is STRESS, the sympthom producer is VEGUS NERVE and the triggers putting pressure on that nerve is your Neck/Shoulders muscle structure or your digestive system.<br /><br />Your body reacts to stress the same way regardless if its emotional (stress from work or family ect.) physical (lack of sleep, over excaustion, sensitivity to EMF ect.) or chemical (bad food choices, water or lack of specific nutritional vitamins or minerals). The body does not know the difference and it reacts the same to all above. The connection between GUT and Brain has now been well established and stress will just stop digestion in its track. ON the other side stress is responsible for muscle and tendents tension in your neck and back and shoulders so both can be the triggers to vegus nerve overstimulation. <br /><br />The source of the trigger will explain why some people react well to digestive aids and why some people dont but also why some will not have any digestive issues but still suffer from PVC and such but those i will bet have issue with neck pain, discomfort, headaches and so on triggered by muscle tension. At the end anything that addresses stress in your body, like magnesium, beta blockers, anti anxiety meds, breathing methods, regular intense excercise if you can motivate yourself to go pass first 10-20 minutes and such will help with the sympthoms. Addressing the stress is dealing with the sources of the misery addressing PVC, or digestive issues, or muscle tension is just addressing the sympthoms that will not get rid off the main cause. <br /><br />Now the problem is that stress is a part of life and we really cant get rid off it no matter how we try to we have to focus on finding that one or few things that helps our body deal with stress or its effects. You have to find those things that help you.<br /><br />Is it biking, running, playing regular physical sport or some kine of focus on excercising regiment. For some it might be the relaxation approach like meditation, breathing, walking in nature on daily basis. For some it might be change in their diet to make sure your body has the basics it needs since stress is an increadible factor in depletion of basic materials needed for minimum function. For others its focusing on their posture since most of us are seating in front of computer monitors for hours on end devolving into hunched over shadows of ourselfs or had one few many small car accidents that drove our spine into the disfunction its att. Whatever that is you need to find it. After you do then you can start to help the sympthoms a little with some herbs or supplements that support your body and help restore your day to day function. With those that have lots of neck and head issues need to focus on relaxation and ATLAS/Axis adjustments. Those that struggle with digestive issues focus on ACV or digestive bitters to help your stomach but not before you deal with the stress managment first. IF you are looking for the magic pill, the miracle procedure, the right doctor you will spend your life looking. <br /><br />I wish you all good luck and hope this will get better for all of us. <br />Cheers,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-23895709410698595342018-04-02T06:35:27.304-07:002018-04-02T06:35:27.304-07:00I simply must tell you that you have written a fan...I simply must tell you that you have written a fantastic and also unique article that I <br />truly enjoyed reading.

It is good that you have this blog. ...Miss Claudia. It is good that you have this blog. But I wonder that you posted the generalization about beta blockers, which, as you know, are not all the same. You had responded: "do you have asthma? People who have asthma generally can't use beta blockers because it suppresses something in the breathing mechanism that can make it dangerous for asthmatics. But I think that if you have very mild asthma, most doctors aren't too worried about it." I carefully researched all manner of beta blockers to see which would have the least effect on compromised lungs. The one I finally found, and have taken for nearly two years, has not had an adverse effect, and I am in generally poor health. This is probably just an oversight, as the demands of maintaining a blog are great. Just suggesting no generalizing about the beta blockers.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I'm trying to cope with suddenly-increased PVCs, with the addition of what seems to be positional vertigo. Tonight is one of those nights when I am tempted to go to the emergency department. I do have various cardiovascular diseases, but this seems so very directly to position, and, I believe some kind of vagus nerve reaction... but it surely does stink, and I feel for everyone with this garbage. I also have pulsatile tinnitus so I also hear the skipped beats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-89168229284632322092017-10-25T11:04:53.410-07:002017-10-25T11:04:53.410-07:00Unknown, I wrote a solution above.

I am post menopausal. I walk a fair bit each day (2-3 mikes) but this last week I've had a run of ectopics on and off and two really big thumps when exerting myself. The thumps have been felt in my upper back more than my chest like someone has startled me. I was about 30 mins into my walking at a brisk pace. It's really scared me... any ideas?

So I'm calling all doctors, are you still saying stomach and PVC are not related after this explanations.

I fo...After my investigations and tests on my self. I found the reason. It is %100 and completely related to digestive problems. As you may already read on the internet and 1000 comments all people complain that it happens in some positions. That is because the stomach is making pressure on heart and vagus nerve which results vagus nerve to send invalid signal to the heart then results a early heart beat. The only question I dont know is why this does not happen to all other people who have stomach issues ? My logical answer for this is, we have some kind of different stomach issues as a plus to GERD and other digestive problems and this different problem is unknown by the doctors today. They say it is about stress, no it is bullshit stress. It only happens when I eat something heavy and then after I bend over or sitdown fast, this is because the stomach causes. It does not happen when I'm hungry. Again %100 related to some kind of unknown digestive problem. My guess is our stomach is goes somewhere up where it shouldnt and causes pressure there, that cannot be detected by the doctors because the stomach is not staying in that position all the time.Shaqunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320470323191134411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-19942545277864212452016-08-29T02:46:49.177-07:002016-08-29T02:46:49.177-07:00Hi,I have had palps since 2003...it is August 2016...Hi,I have had palps since 2003...it is August 2016 now. I recently seen a cardiologist. Did a EKG and Echo. They told me i have PVCs. He told me that it was a normal-abnormal.<br />Since the visit a month ago, the PVCs have been more frequent. I have been having them at night while laying down, even sitting. Shoot, I have them anywhere. They are sporadic. I have noticed, position changes help, but it's like the heart either relaxes or tenses up and they happen again. I have also noticed taking deep breathes makes them happen too. I try not to worry about them, even as im reading these posts they are happening. I have nevwr been hooked up to a Holter monitor, and think I need too. It scares the crap out of me having these. I have good days, where I'm normal and have no flipflops or flutters at all. I can be a normal person. Then BAM...I can wake up having them. I am really concerned and scared for my life here.<br />I am overweight, on a diet. 36, fixing to turn 37 in 2 weeks. Hairstylist. Not really active. <br />Cholesterol is high...trying to get that down. Testing heart rate is 50s sometimes upper 40s. <br />That don't bother me as much as the constant fluttering or double beats in my chest. Just glad to know I'm not alone...even tho when they happen, you feel as tho your heart is fixing to quit. :-(<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-33577228666683685552016-07-13T13:28:57.569-07:002016-07-13T13:28:57.569-07:00I am a 44 year old man and I have suffered from pv...I am a 44 year old man and I have suffered from pvcs and other weird beats for probably 25yrs. I too have had terrible anxiety from them or from being scared of having a bad spell. I have had all the tests and they all say my heart is healthy and not too worry. Sometimes I will just be sitting or lying down feeling fine and all of a sudden my heart would beat wildly, like it is completely out of rythym and flopping like crazy and then just stop for 2 or 3 seconds at a time. I start to pass out and think I am dying then it finally corrects itself. Every time that happens it is very scary and I just feel like it is not going to recover. I have wore all kinds of monitors and of course they have never caught a bad episode. I finally was referred to an EP that told me I was a good candidate for an ablation, so I had it done in February of this year and for several weeks I was convinced that I was going to be cured. I had very few pvcs and if I had some they were so light I could barley feel them. I seemed like the longer I went and the more my heart healed the more the pvcs and funny beats have came back, and now they are as bad as the every were. My theory is that they burned the right spots but just did not completely destroy them. I am now scheduled to have another ablation August 30. I am hoping that it fixes the problems this time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-48617447527056820762016-02-18T08:29:15.650-08:002016-02-18T08:29:15.650-08:00I have had PVCs since I was 20.

I'm 35 and noticed these ectopics\PVCs or whatever you want to call the since I was a teenager but only the odd one throughout the day, which doctors say is completely normal. However about a year ago I suddenly started getting them a lot more to the point where they were happening every 2-5 seconds. As someone who is a nervous person I thought I was dying. I ended up spending over £1000 on private health tests only for the cardiologist to say my heart was physically fine and nothing other than drugs could help which he and I didn't want to try. I was so scared but soon hit a brain wave. Whenever I've been ill or felt sick I've used menthol as something to make me feel better as I like the smell. After a cold I started using a Vicks inhaler stick but was sniffing it a lot to the point I was sniffing it every few minutes to make me feel better. A few times I thought it could be that but talked myself out of it but I had a few days of palpitations that happened every second. I decided to try leaving the inhaler for a couple of days. Sure enough after about 3 days the palps all but went and haven't been back to that degree since. I think it's too much of a coincidence to not have been the inhaler. I just thought I'd mention this incase anyone else overuses a similar inhaler and gets palps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626717916964287567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-91020286687534233422016-01-30T12:15:21.305-08:002016-01-30T12:15:21.305-08:00I believe there is a connection between anxiety, p...I believe there is a connection between anxiety, panic attacks, stress and the occurrence of PVC. most of the people who had/have pvc are suffering from panic attacks or anxiety in general.<br />It probably have to do with the sensitivity of the heart to adrenaline. since panic attacks and anxiety release so much adrenaline, i believe our heart becomes sensitive to it that even the slightest thought and make it worse.<br />PVCs happen to most normal hearts, but since we suffer from anxiety, our subconscious mind is focused on everything happening inside our bodies. So when we think we get the PVC out of the blue, the truth is that our brain is constantly scanning our body and that is why we can feel the slightest change in our heart rhythm.<br />I am sure that i have PVC before, but it only came annoying and scary when i googled it.<br /><br />Salem Baotobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809542870070151861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-3639144008336973602015-10-31T14:55:59.645-07:002015-10-31T14:55:59.645-07:00I do have a question.

And also I guess, why my Drs are just giving me tablets.OldNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255632979644179380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-85749555948351644962015-10-31T14:51:55.790-07:002015-10-31T14:51:55.790-07:00I have been wondering about postural ectopic beats...I have been wondering about postural ectopic beats and here I am!<br /><br />I get EBs and have on and off for many years. I also have rare paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. (PAF). Mostly I can stop it by straining to breathe, sometimes with flecatabs, and once I had to go to ER for defibrillation, pre flecatabs.<br /><br />I have found that after days of hard work, especially if I am bending or straining my back a lot, ( and probably if I am tired) I get ebs if I stand up straight, especially if I have been sitting. It's not the standing up that does it, but the stance; it can be several minutes after stand up that they start. <br /><br />The seriousness ranges from missed beat every 12 or more down to missing every second beat (that has only happened once). I have never felt dizzy or weak because of it. From experience with panic attacks in the past, I do know that fear can cause dizziness, so that is worth considering. Even with PAF I have felt dizzy only until I was at the doctors!<br /><br />I probably slump a bit when I sit. I find that if I stand up,say, washing dishes, in other words erect and in particular with neck slightly bent and arms in front of me, I get EBs. That thing where you strain to breathe will stop them for quite a while, but I have found that leaning forward will stop them temporarily. That is the bit that is interesting on the postural side.<br /><br />So basically if my spine is straight and compressed, in the right circumstances (tired after a day's work, have been sitting, have been bending a lot or generally being tough on my back) I get EBs. If I bend my spine by bending forward, they stop until straighten up again. Straining to breathe stops them for quite a while.<br /><br />I know the feeling in the chest of EBs and PAF and I am pretty sure I don't get them much,if at all, when I am actually working.<br /><br />Strangely,Iam on amlodipine for high BP and it's not a beta blocker. It's also not doing much for my BP. Why Drs don't seem to put two and two together I never understand.OldNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15255632979644179380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-19680408342019375932015-08-27T18:56:36.131-07:002015-08-27T18:56:36.131-07:00I, too, have positional bigeminy.

Since I am a nurse, I was able to lay down at work and hooked myself to a monitor. Consistent bigeminy. No weakness, dizziness or pain, but it was very disconcerting. I saw a cardiologist, had a stress test, echocardiogram and heart cath. ALL within normal limits. I was started on Tenormin 25 mg per day and have had none since. Don't know the cause, but glad there was a cure. I tried going off the Tenormin for a awhile and they came right back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653459240705372131.post-40399698674353933432015-08-12T11:53:04.096-07:002015-08-12T11:53:04.096-07:00My symptoms began four monthes before, after a hor...My symptoms began four monthes before, after a horribly stressed time, caused by a personal problem. It began with bigemin extrasystolia, first only shorter times a day. After five days it began and didn't stop. It scared me so much that I went to the hospital. At home I took some beta-blocker, and there I got an infusion of magesium and kalium. It stopped only next day morning. Than it was over. I had the 24 hours ekg, ultrasonic exam, labor and so, everything was negative. I took the beta blocker and lived my life. After two monthes I went to a rheumatic sanatory. Befor the day I arrived, I woke up in the night for this crazy bigeminia. And I had it all the time I was there. It came always in the evening when I went to bed. Sometimes came in the night. Rarely in the day-time. I was thinkng, what did I different? I was free of symptoms for two monthes. The only thing I took was the light cola what I drank in the hotness. And I asked sweetener to my tea there, what was not my sweetener. When I came home after two weeks suffering, in two days I was okay again. So I am sure that the Aspartam made my symptoms. I don't remember if I eat or drink anything with Aspartam before I had to go to the hospital, but I am sure of this. Inhave extrasystoles sometimes a day, but not chained, and no bigeminia. So I am sure, the Aspartam is harmful for me.<br />Thanks for everybody, who wrote in this blog. It helped me very much, and learned a lot. I hope, my lines can also help someone. dr Buda Katalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02168934902247605156noreply@blogger.com
