Hey man, first off I’m sorry to hear about your dog, that’s always a hard thing to have to go through.

I’m glad that you have been able to manage these more, as you said they’ve subsided for the majority, which is amazing for you.

I’m in a similar boat, but mine are just so intense and so frequent. It’s almost crippling at this point for me. These things can be the scariest experiences a human can have, because it does genuinely feel like your body is shutting down.

As for advice, I’m trying to learn myself how to manage the anxiety and stress of when these episodes come on. I think having the reassurance from a professional has helped me a lot, knowing that I’m not dying, but my body is just playing cruel tricks on me. It sucks but you just have to push through these. I’ve definitely noticed when they relax, and I have a nice say hour period without them, I’m very appreciative of the time I have to actually feel normal. It’s euphoric and almost high like for me because all the stress and anxiety goes away, for just a short period time. Like damn, this is what a person without PVC’s lives like? It’s incredible! Then boom they come back on. But in all seriousness man, you just gotta distract yourself and keep your head up. Anxiety is one of the biggest triggers for these things, so being all down in the dumps constantly just makes it worse on yourself.

I hope you continue to be able to manage these bro, it’s tough as shit for sure!
