I do alot of sports and if I get competitive there goes a PVC....adrenaline. I wish there was a medication I could take that would decrease the amount of adrenaline I produce!

ABSOLUTLY NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS!!!! They are horrible. Drink atleast 2 litres. Yoga, Yoga....calms the soul. And finally I try to always be calm and rational ( am not always successful)

This takes some practice, but each time you do it the adrenaline rush decreases and you have more control over the emotion. Because of the plasticity of the brain where adrenaline addiction exists, it is easier to reverse than other addictions. Start with this simple mental exercise: Adrenaline energy flows from the brain down the spine and up the front of the body. When you feel the adrenaline energy start to build when the emotionally charged memory is triggered, be alert and tell yourself to stop the energy flow. Visually stop it with your mind and reverse it. Now move it forward down the front of your body and up your back in a forward motion like you are riding a bike. Use your hands to create momentum of the forward moving energy. This creates endorphins and a better fix. The first time you do this, you may laugh from the wonderful feeling produced by your brain and felt throughout your body. The difference? You feel BAD after an adrenaline rush and you feel GOOD after an endorphin rush. It takes some practice, but once you get hooked on endorphins you never look back.
Have you tried a beta blocker?? That's essentially what beta blockers do, they block adrenaline.. They didn't stop my PVCs, but I know some people have great results on them.
Good Luck! http://marieconroy.blogspot.com/
