I AM 50 YEARS OLD AND IN GOOD HEALTH EXCEPT FOR THESE PVC'S ALL THE TIME.
FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE BEEN HAVING PVC'S, SOMETIMES
UP TO 300 TO 700 A DAY, OTHER TIMES ONLY 1 OR 2 A DAY. I DO NOT FEEL THEM WHILE WORKING OR EXERCISING ONLY WHEN AT REST.
DOCTOR HAS BEEN TREATING ME FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HYPERTENTION FOR THE SAME 3 YEARS.
TAKING 20 MG OF LOTENSEN AND 5 MG OF NOVACK.
HE HAD ME ON 10 MG OF PAXIL WITH 1 MG OF LOREZEPAM FOR HYPERTENTION AND PVC'S, WHICH SEEM TO WORK BUT I DIDN'T LIKE THE SIDE AFFECTS OF PAXIL AND STOPPED TAKING IT AROUND3 MONTHS AGO AND ONLY TAKE LOREZEPAM WHEN I CAN'T SLEEP.
HAD ECOCARDIOGRAM, DYE INJECTIONS AT ACTIVITY AND REST, AND AN ANGIOGRAM THAT ALL SHOWNED NEGATIVE. BOTH DOCTORS TOLD ME TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB THAT WASN'T SO HIGH STRESS.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT BRINGS THEM ON SINCE I DON'T DRINK, SMOKE, OR USE CAFFEINE PRODUCTS AND TOOK EARLY RETIREMENT LAST YEAR..
IT SEEMS LIKE I CAN BRING THEM ON BY MYSELF JUST THINKING ABOUT A PROJECT OR STRESS SITUATION. ALSO, LIKE THE OTHER GUY HAVE 2 OR 3 AT A TIME AND CAN FEEL THEM COME ON JUST A SECOND OR TWO BEFOE THEY ACTUALLY HAPPEN.
THE WORST PART IS THAT I FEEL MOST OF THEM AT NIGHT WHEN I AM TRYING TO GET TO SLEEP.
USUALLY TAKES ME 1-2 HOURS TO GET TO SLEEP AND I WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH PVC'S.
APPRECIATE ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN OFFER.
