Arrhythmias and Acupuncture

by 123lass321, Mar 04, 2009 02:26PM
I recently wore a 24-hour holter monitor and had > 14,000 skipped beats.  Most were solitary PVC's, but some bigemeny, some couplets / triplets, and a few episodes of ventricular tachychardia.  I feel the extra beats, which scares me, and then they get worse.  I get winded and very tired.  I have been told my options are (1) medications, or (2) cardiac ablation.  Have not yet talked with the electrophysiologist to see whether I am a candidate for cardiac ablation.  Am wondering:  Has anyone tried acupuncture for PVCs with any success?
