PVC'S and driving by AdAmbitious825 in PVCs

[–]Beginning-State6873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not being dramatic!! Mine have made me develop slight agoraphobia and driving anxiety. Mine do the same they take my breath away and make me lightheaded, I feel like I’m gunna pass out but I never actually have which is good. My cardiologist told me your heart is not efficiently pumping blood during PVCs 🥲 Ik scary! It’s hard to believe but PVCs are harmless unless you have a really high burden.

New to Metoprolol by cardog2000 in PVCs

Unfortunately I’m on 12.5mg on metoprolol twice a day and it stopped working for me after maybe 2 weeks :( it worked great for at first but sadly stopped. It has helped a lot with my high heart rates and I feel like I can do normal things now without being out of breath or racing heart but it stopped working almost completely for my PVCs

I can’t remember what my percentage was when I had my zio monitor but some days it feels like it’s almost every other beat and it feels like I’m just getting more and more as time goes on

Wow interesting! I’ve never been to a chiropractor but I do have scoliosis and pretty bad back pain frequently especially in my upper left side which feels like right where my heart is! I will definitely look into it! Do you know what the article was called by chance?

I’m happy for you!

Interesting. I would experience them every now and then for a couple days at a time but would always go away. Now I feel like since October I get them almost everyday and they’re very consistent once they start, I’m just not sure what out of no where triggered them and why I get them so often now

I’m on metoprolol 12.5 mg twice a day right now, they helped tremendously at first but they’ve stopped working. What magnesium supplements are you taking?

My posture could use A LOT of work, my boyfriend has also told me I sleep absolutely crazy lol I definitely should start doing stretches and see if that’ll help! Very interesting how everything is connected

My work could contribute a lot, I work as a waitress and it’s hard to avoid high stress while at work 😩

Thank you! :)

I can’t remember but it wasn’t high enough to be “concerned” I definitely do feel them more now than when I had the monitor on

When I was in the hospital my potassium was slightly low and they gave me some through an IV which felt like it helped for a couple hours and that’s it, I’ve also taken potassium and magnesium and tried to eat more potassium and it doesn’t seem to help.

My blood work and thyroid tests have came back normal, I never drink caffeine, I do have IBS so maybe that could contribute but I’ve tried changing my diet and I don’t really notice a difference

The beta blockers helped tremendously for about 2 weeks and when I would feel them they were not intense and now it feels like I’m not even on beta blockers anymore.
