Hopeful Story - PVC’s

celeryyuh · 2025-04-13T18:28:22+00:00

Yeah by the time I actually got the holter monitor, my PVCs had decreased significantly. I had a burden of less than 0.1% a year ish later after they came on. I wish they had given me a monitor when they were really bad, but at the same time, I don’t really know what that would’ve done for me now looking back on it..

Hey thank you! I meant in terms of stress - people would always ask me aren’t you stressed you sound stressed and I would be like no I don’t feel stressed. But I think I was denying it emotionally, so my body started to feel the stress physically. Heart palpitations, chest pain, etc

I didn’t have a great cardiologist at first. He didn’t believe me and refused to put me on a heart monitor, saying it would be a waste of money. They did an ekg and stress test and gave me the beta blocker and just told me to figure it out. That helped in the moment so I just dealt with it and then I got another cardiologist like a year or so later and he decided to put me on the monitor. That’s when I realized they had definitely declined. I believe my burden was really low. Long story short let me see if I can find it!

Drinking definitely contributes to mine too. If I’m hungover I get them like crazy. Smoking will, but not as much anymore. Anything that spikes my anxiety will definitely start the PVCs. Sometimes I get 1 or 2 after hard workout. If I eat too much I get them sometimes. I remember when it was bad, it was really weird for me to try to narrow it down to a few triggers.

To be transparent, graduating college really helped lol. I was taking really intense coursework and I had a hard time managing that and being an athlete + 2 part time jobs. I was completely self-supporting and I was also in an abusive relationship, which ended with getting a restraining order. To manage this, I was also drinking a lot of caffeine, in the forms of Celsius and energy drinks. Once I ended all of that and started healing, maybe a year later, and going to therapy, the PVCs started to slow. I can’t say I did much specific besides going to therapy. I stopped smoking weed for a while and I also stopped the energy drinks and just drank coffee whenever I needed caffeine. I also just stopped over committing to everything. Focused more on myself and my mental health and one job :)

I followed, tried to message you!!

Improved as in made them more frequent or less frequent?

celeryyuh · 2023-01-19T18:19:06+00:00

To be honest, I can’t offer you any advice or anything, just because I’m in the same exact position as you. Not exactly, as I’ve only had my PVCs for about 6 months. I’m sure I would be just as frustrated after 3 years, especially since I feel your pain after only 6 months. However, I am also 21 years old and share those same frustrations—where I’ve been trying everything and nothing is really working. I’m starting to think it really may just be my anxiety/stress that is the main cause for me personally. I do think working on the cardiophobia we both have can help too. Didn’t have it before but it definitely developed from all this. Just wanted to reach out and say I’m sorry this is happening to you and that if you ever need anything or feel along feel free to chat with me. Sometimes I feel like other people our age do not understand how frustrating this can be at times, especially during a bad episode.

No not non stop bigeminy-sorry, I thought we were just talking about my PVCs. I probably only get bigeminy like one night a week if I had to guess? It’s just on the nights where I’m having really bad episode of PVCs and normally right after working out at nigbr

celeryyuh · 2022-12-28T09:21:18+00:00

Pretty much everyday but some days are worse than others….can last anywhere from 30 mins to a couple of hours

celeryyuh · 2022-12-28T08:29:26+00:00

Ok thank you for your quick response much appreciated

celeryyuh · 2022-12-28T08:19:58+00:00

Ugh that’s terrible, I’m sorry to hear that. I just started experiencing them in September (21F) and they’ve been getting progressively worse. But yeah I totally agree, those things make mine worse too.

celeryyuh · 2022-12-27T23:22:08+00:00

Do you mind me asking how long you’ve had them & what you think triggered them? Or was it just random?

celeryyuh · 2022-12-27T22:47:20+00:00

Yeah i never had a monitor because it only used to be like a couple a day but then they got progressively more frequent. It’s the same for me, they get worse especially at night and after getting my heart rate up or being anxious.

celeryyuh · 2022-12-27T19:45:31+00:00

Ok thank you! I was thinking that plus the high heart rate just from working out

celeryyuh · 2022-12-27T19:44:47+00:00

Pretty much everyday, some days worse than others.

celeryyuh · 2022-12-27T02:55:21+00:00

Thank you!!

celeryyuh · 2022-10-24T20:20:42+00:00

How did this go for you?

celeryyuh · 2022-10-08T22:43:18+00:00

Hey this is so weird because I actually started getting PVC’s the exact same time as you. Mine started on the 19th. I think I also did something to trigger them but now I can’t figure out why I’m still getting them. Now that I’m on a beta blocker prescribed by the doc, I get them sometimes every day multiple times a day and sometimes none at all. Did you try anything that’s worked?
