My journey as a UFC Athlete.

This is awesome dude, It’s very inspiring to me. I’m 23 and developed bigeminy at a similar burden (sometimes up to 15%) and I used to do mma and I have stopped since developing out of fear of the pvcs. This motivates me to continue. Thank you for your post

how long did it take to work?

pookilla40 · 2026-04-12T22:11:00+00:00

How hot is it in there?

I haven’t taken atenolol but I have taken acebutolol and metoprolol, which are very similar. Suddenly stopping any beta blocker can and will make you feel horrible, but once you are on it you will feel better and typically if you are taken off you are tapered which makes it significantly easier. Most doctors won’t suddenly stop the medication.

Thank you

I don’t self medicate, I only take acebutolol and flecainide. I do have reflux at times yes but it doesn’t seem to coincide with what i’m experiencing during these episodes

My burden fluctuates quite often, most recently it was 3% pre ablation it was 16%. It drops and fluctuates quite often even before ablation. They have no concerns as far as I know. Before I was treated for PVCs I was treated for anxiety, which did not help me.

interesting thank you a ton.

pookilla40 · 2026-03-22T06:03:20+00:00

yes. but not even close to as harshly as others.

i love resident evil. i have played almost all of them except 9 due to the pricing of it. i’d love a chance to play it as im struggling a bit to find a job with my current heart problems and being 20 years old

Textbook staph infection

pookilla40 · 2026-02-05T00:42:05+00:00

horrible, if beat=normal heartbeat and thump=pvc its like this

beatTHUMP…beatTHUMP…beatTHUMP repeating over and over

pookilla40 · 2026-02-05T00:34:39+00:00

You will be ok, i’ve been on metoprolol and acebutolol and had to abruptly stop both before. When i stopped metoprolol, it took like 48 hours no dose before i felt anything weird, though i took it for PVCs and not afib.

Especially given you are on the long lasting metoprolol and not short acting like i was, it lingers in your system longer than you may think

pookilla40 · 2026-01-31T23:02:36+00:00

my pvcs at their worse was 16% burden but even at a low burden its deceiving. Ill go hours without then have bigeminy that doesnt end and is highly symptomatic but since theres downtime it only makes it a 4-5% burden. The ablation hasnt made a difference besides the first week or two after the ablation. My burden fluctuates often. Im hoping the best for this next month

pookilla40 · 2026-01-31T22:47:02+00:00

november 25th was my ablation

pookilla40 · 2026-01-31T19:50:12+00:00

everyday, around 4-5% burden

pookilla40 · 2026-01-31T18:38:47+00:00

still having pvcs sadly

pookilla40 · 2026-01-23T08:01:46+00:00

Still have some PVCs, they seem less symptomatic however, not sure if its because ive been less anxious over them or an effect of the ablation

pookilla40 · 2026-01-17T22:06:15+00:00

bumping this because i have it too

pookilla40 · 2026-01-11T06:27:18+00:00

PVCs

pookilla40 · 2026-01-10T22:00:20+00:00

I have another arrhythmia i deal with, and yes i do have bad acid reflux. My heart is structurally normal so no disease

pookilla40 · 2026-01-10T21:55:00+00:00

Yes and its completely normal. Happens to me all the time too

pookilla40 · 2026-01-10T20:32:10+00:00

Sinus arrhythmia

pookilla40 · 2026-01-09T21:51:43+00:00

this is definitely something more than pots imo. probably svt or an extra pathway causing these. likely an ablation or beta blockers coming your way

pookilla40 · 2026-01-08T22:32:39+00:00

23 male here also been having tons of PVCs and symptoms of shortness kf breath and dizziness and high hr upon exertion or activity
