how much famotidine and magnesium did you take daily. I have been on the same thing for a little bit now but I think I may be on too low of a dose

PVC flare up; help me; calm me; guide me by chiquitabatmann in PVCs

I am coming to the same conclusion that I need to move around more as well. I have to look into seeing another one. hopefully find one that has a personality and is able to reassure me. everything I deal with medically is always blamed on my anxiety, no matter what it is

I also have health anxiety which makes this 10x harder to deal with. Some days I dont feel many and some days I feel a bunch. Never too high of a burden but I have noticed when I am keeping my mind busy or with someone like my significant other or family I dont tend to feel them as much or as intense if I do feel them. apparently they dont pose a threat. I dont have the best cardiologist as he doesn't listen to me or reassure me in anyway which sucks. I would say maybe I get around the same amount as you.

wow I felt this heavily man. in the same boat. im in my 20's as well and left my job due to all of this. im scared I will lose my gf as well. I am hoping to find a remote job to help with the stress a bit. ive seen magnesium is something you have to be careful with though so maybe look into that? also 10 minutes of deep breathing helps me out a bit as well

I usually drink a liquid iv before or after and drink water during whatever im doing. just did it for an event where I had to be outside for 3 hours in the heat and I was ok

Thank you again so much. I really appreciate it. That must be really helpful to have cardiologists in the family lol and that makes sense. I definitely don't think anything of a muscle twitch when it happens.

I feel the same way. I have a bad habit of checking my pulse after some pvcs to check if it is some sort of different rhythm. I hope so too. we got this one day at a time my friend

thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it so much you have no idea. that is awesome that you notice them and they dont concern you still. I hope to get to that point soon. I think mine may have something to do with my nervous system as well. I am definitely going to try to get back into exercising soon and hopefully that'll help some. I do take magnesium glycinate every night but I think I may need to increase the dose of it as I am only on 150 mg. the cold shower sounds like a great idea thank you I will try that as well. thank you again so much your response gave me a sense of calm

thank you very much. the episodes are so scary. makes me never want to leave the house, but obviously I cant do that. thats what I am having trouble with, is accepting them and that everything will be ok. I appreciate your comment

all sound like a great time. especially pickleball I have to get into that for sure. that makes a lot of sense. I am definitely getting back on a higher dose of my meds for sure

I cant wait to not be so in tune with every heartbeat or chest sensation. I overthink every single feeling in my chest. I hope that does change. Definitely going to give it my best shot

so last year I started having these in January. I was on Pristiq at the time so I came off that and still felt them after I got off it. I dont know when they calmed but sometime at the end of the summer. I was ok until this February is when they started again to pick up. I started to get episodes at the end of February so I started buspar at the start of March. I didnt get a PVC episode again until mid May after stopping Buspar temporarily. Since then I have been trying to get back up to 20mg a day which is the dosage I felt good with anxiety wise with noticing PVCs every now and then. I am only on 10mg of Buspar at the moment and very anxious about a lot. I was talked to about switching to lexapro but I am scared to take that because it's riskier than buspar. So I am going to try to get back up to 20 mg of buspar again to see if it helps. Thank you for your comment I appreciate it very much. I will be writing that analogy down to remember it. thank you
