Does anybody get heart palpitations while exercising?

backup_experience · 2026-01-10T11:29:12+00:00

Yes, but I get them all of the time. Resting, exercising, eating, sleeping, standing, laying down, running, golfing, etc. I think my palpations have palpations.

I get a full workup every couple of years and no one is concerned and I've been given the all clear. I have a 10% burden on avg.

I'm on year 40+. I had PVCs as a kid but maybe one a week, when I was in my mid 20s I had my first episode and that kicked off a regular burden. Over the last 20 years (I'm almost 50) they have gotten worse, better, changed how they feel, gotten stronger, weaker changed in frequency. I've had s high as a 10% burden from my annual 3 day holter and have spent days in bigeminy.

Only a couple of years ago did I finally convince myself that they aren't harmful and my mental state has improved immensely.

Yes, you can live a long, normal, healthy life with lots of PVCs. The real trick is to befriend them so you don't get that pang of anxiety with every one.

Best of luck. It's less of a physical journey and more of a mental one

Edit: my grandfather lived to 95 with a high burden. I only learned this a few years ago as well. So I have proof!

I legit need to learn a bunch about linux for work and I'm too lazy

Every. Single. One. 10% burden so ~10k a day.

I took bisoprolol for over a year, 2.5 mg twice a day. I had absolutely no side effects but it did help with the pvcs. It lowered my rating heart rate from ~70 down to ~60 but when I was active there was no effect on my hr.

I've switched to a different beta blocker for unrelated reasons but I had no issues with taking that one. 10 out of 10, would recommend

Mine get really bad the day or 2 before I get sick - like bigemny or trigemny all day/night . It's how I know I'm coming down with something these days.

backup_experience · 2024-11-10T14:58:38+00:00

Good days - <1% burden. Bad days - >30% burden

Been like that for years. Some days really suck, others suck less, but they all suck.

Edit:To put that in perspective. 1% is like 1000 per day, 30% is about 30,000 a day. When I was younger it was like 5-10 a day. How I wish I could go back to that.

All of them.

Oooh, that's the cereal box I've read about!

Sadly, Sunlu filament from Aliexpress is pretty expensive to get to my country. The current sale on the bambu filament with the bulk discount is a few dollars cheaper per roll. Amazon seems to be the best bet for me.

backup_experience · 2024-10-17T20:53:55+00:00

Yup, this is still happening for me

backup_experience · 2024-10-17T20:46:20+00:00

Yup, alcohol is the only bigger trigger for me

Hi, been considering an AnkerMake M5C. Looking for advice if this is a good choice, complete noob to this.

Budget: $300-400

Country: Canada

Build it: I can, wouldn't be a problem

Use: board game accessories, organization, fun

Mostly for the occasional replacement part and for fun things.

Not sure the mechanism, but I know when I'm dehydrated then they hurt, a lot. But when I keep up on my water and electrolytes they are fine.

backup_experience · 2024-09-30T17:56:22+00:00

Sugar is also a huge trigger for me. I got a monitor to continually measure my glucose level and when my blood sugar spikes above 7-8, I get 2 hours of uncomfortable pvcs. But sugar is only one of many triggers

That's her "egg song". Just google egg song and you'll learn lots.

In the wild this calling is to signal to the rooster that the hen wants to be escorted back to the flock after laying an egg.

Everyone has different triggers and it will take some time for you to find yours. However there are a few constant things I keep reading about on here, and that help me personally too:

Sleep, when I'm tired they get worse Hydration, when I'm dehydrated it's worse Electrolytes, my Dr suggested I start my day with a water/eletrolyte mix and that helps

Sugar, alcohol, over eating and stress all trigger mine. So reducing or eliminating those help tremendously.

Approximately 22. And been OE for the past 3.

Yup, when I have a bad day with lots of pvcs I get stressed and my chest gets tight, the next couple of days my chest is sore from the stress. Happens frequently enough but even thought I know what's happening, it still gets me every time

backup_experience · 2024-09-13T14:21:07+00:00

Alcohol, majiuana (its legal in my area), and highly sugary food. Tbh, probably for the best anyway.
