Correlation between PVCs and Carbs

by Manhattan, Aug 07, 2007 07:32AM
Has anyone else noticed a relationship between pvcs and carbs? Most of the time I can eat carbs with no problem, but when I am prone to getting pvcs anyway, I am finding that if I eat carbs it's like adding fuel to the fire. This happened to me a few times, but I thought it was a coincidence. The other day though convinced me there is a definitely a cause and effect. I ate a big lunch of lobster roll on a hot dog bun, fries and rootbeer and within a half hour my pvcs were intense - every other beat for about two hours until the Propranolol kicked in. Before that I was fine. Anyway, I decided to test i t out and cut carbs out completely except vegetables (but no potatoes, corn or carrots) and basically went on Atkins - no pvcs except for one or two during the course of the day. Then I ate carbs again - crazy pvcs again! Anyway, I just wanted to see if anyone else finds this to be true. I think it must be an insulin response. Also, if you are having bad pvcs that you notice occur after meals, try cutting out all carbs - bread, pasta, sugar etc... and see if it helps!
