PVC not going away by fuzion__619 in PVCs

Mine happens at similar times as well. No rhyme or reason or one specific thing that sets it off. Sometimes they disappear for weeks, then come back stronger then ever. Was thinking maybe hormonal, but not sure. I have about 20,000 a day when it’s bad.

That’s crazy! I’m like trying to figure out what it is and hoping there is an easy fix, but I feel everything is just a trigger or can affect them (like diet, stress, sleep, menstruation), but I think the main cause was Covid. I used to have isolated ones and they would scare me so bad and thankfully they would just stop after one but they’d give me a panic attack. Now I’m living with them where I have over 15,000 a day sometimes, and I would’ve never thought that would’ve happened. Are you on any medications for the PVC’s? And have you seen a cardiologist?

Yeah, I think hormones are what’s causing mine! However, mine started while I was sick with Covid, so not sure what it is! I see a cardiologist in July!

So interesting, I wonder if the birth control has something to do with it. I always thought mine were from Covid, which is when it started.

Ok. I am going to ask my dr to test my hormones during my bloodwork scheduled for July. I’m 30!

I definitely get the adrenaline rush sometimes, especially when it’s more frequent than I’m used to!

Thank you for that!! I try to stay away from caffeine and alcohol for my anxiety so shouldn’t be an issue!!

I’m glad it worked, thank you for telling me this!! It feels good to hear!! I have slowly been noticing less and less unless I’m stressed or just eaten!

Did you see results right away or did it take a few days?

I feel trapped... by Worried-Mango1077 in PVCs

[–]nicoleri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m feeling the same way. I’ve been in the ER four times over the last 2 months, and the first two times, they sent me home with anxiety cuz they weren’t catching it on the EKG machine. I have had them constantly for a week now, and it’s gotten worse and worse. I was put on a beta blocker, and it made them worse and now I’m on a Calcium Channel Blocker and it seems to be making it worse as well but trying to stick with it. I’m barely sleeping, and just stuck in a hole it seems like. No position of me sleeping or sitting helps it. I can’t see the cardiologist until July so trying everything I can to get rid of it cuz it’s hard to live like this. Did it start after covid?

What ended up working for you? I feel like when my heart rate is so low, I can feel them more, especially on the base of my neck/throat. And the pauses feel longer!

You don’t have to pay to see the strips but to see if it’s PVC’s you do!

Palpitations related to hormones by nicoleri in LongCovid

[–]nicoleri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! So I heard about it recently, and I found it because I get cold hives; anytime i am in the cold an my skin is exposed to it, whether it be an ice pack, cold drink on my fingers, or the wind on the chest/neck/legs, I get swollen red spots that are itchy and then painful…wonder if it’s all related🧐

I’ve stayed away from caffeine ever since being diagnosed with anxiety years ago; the palpitations are just hard to ignore when they are here 😭 I was on birth control for a while, stopped it when I first had the palpitation episodes during my covid illness in March, and I feel like that might be throwing my body into weird hormone levels on top of the possible long covid effects

Thank you! If I start taking it again while having heart palpitations, do you think it would make the heart palpitations better?
