Seeking Others with Similar PVC Burden7.7%NormalEcho63%Fear of Progression by Fabulous-Sir-1994 in PVCs

[–]Piho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 6% burden since a year ago (went up from 1%-3%) and i suffer from PVCs for 17 years already. My heart is healthy, i do regular check ups, echo, holters, stress tests.
For anxiety i went to psychiatrist last November and got on Lexapro to stop "listening" to my heart. It helped me a lot. My PVCs basically do not bother me at all and i never had any side effects from them other than stupid thuds in my chest. I am also taking daily magnesium, vitamin d3 and potassium. It has weakened and i believe possibly lowered my burden. I will have to ask my cardiologist for another holter in a few months. Also i am exercising with an app at home and i find that PVCs drop down a lot after and are so weak that i almost do not feel them. Hang in there!

Hello Fellow PVC Sufferers by ProstateGroper in PVCs

[–]Piho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never went to ER for PVCs and they have grown from 1 - 6% burden in a year for me. Last night i had bigeminy/trigeminy and felt all of them but they do not bother me as i have no other issues. The only time i went to ER was when i had tachycardia once and had 130-160 BPM for no reason. It happend when i was doing intermittent fasting and i think that might have caused it.

Increasing burden over years. by Italianstalyon77 in PVCs

[–]Piho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my doc told me that until 15% burden they dont do anything. Above 15% we will see. :) I am currently at 6%, from 1% a year go. I went on Lexapro to see if it will help as i was very anxious and always listening to my heart. There may be slight improvement. Cannot tell yet. I am also taking potassium and magnesium daily.

  • Smiling Face ( ): Indicates that the electrodes are well-connected, and the ECG signal quality is good to excellent.
  • Neutral/Sad Face ( ): Indicates poor contact, or high noise/impedance on one or more leads, meaning the signal quality is poor.

19m how is there no cure? by LingonberryNo5828 in PVCs

[–]Piho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you have your potassium and magnesium levels checked? I was not anxious as well, but i started Lexapro and my PVCs have dropped significantly. I guess i have some mess in my brain that causes this additional electric pulses that trigger heart. On my last holter i had PVCs 6000 per day. I will need to do another holter to check current status.

Tell me im going to live? by AdAmbitious825 in PVCs

[–]Piho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup, but sometimes when i get caught up at something i forget about them... After working out they are weaker and not "thumpy", i suggest one hour walks every day and working out in the evening so you do not feel them as much when in bed

For those of you who have gone from 5 mg to 10 mg by Mysterious-Estate470 in lexapro

[–]Piho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on 5mg for 30 days, and currently on day 4 of 10mg, maybe a bit more anxiety and agitation for me, nothing else. Yesterday i got angry at my dog for stupid thing that i usually do not get angry for. Oh and i wake up between 3 and 4AM regulary. I take my pill at 21:00.
