PVC's got worse suddenly, even some during excercise help

Today has been a horrible PVC day.  They are coming pretty regularly.  I figured I would excercise and they would give me a break but I even had some during.  They feel wierd, like little painful twinges, but not bad pain, like getting jabbed in the chest, they are coming up into my throat.  I am getting a little scared.  Earlier I posted about my test results, whAT DO YOU ALL THINK, EVERYTHING ok??  They are really starting to bug me.  They weren't too bad until today, now all day long!

I totally know what your feeling.  When I have little flutters (I Think PAC's), its not too bad...when I have PVC's, I been getting pain that radiates into the neck but only lasts a few seconds.  Its scary for sure.  But PVC's can cause some  minor pain and if it dont last for more than a few seconds, theres nothing anybody can really do.

I also get pain in my jaw at times too, but I also grind the heck outta my teeth due to stress and anxiety, needless to say...PVC's dont help.  I get far more PAC's and PVC's when I'm thinking about them, drinking caffeine, or getting excited.  I have some really bad days, and I have some good ones...I just try to move on and ignore them.  I do have an appointment with an EP in May and I hope that I can get the bulk of my questions answered, I'll be sure to share once I go! :)

Best Wishes, and keep on working out....I have PVC's when i work out and it scares me, but being overweight all my life and having clogged arteries is worse.

Best Wishes!

I've had them for a long time. They come on during exercise when I have them.This is because your nervous system ramps up and causes the irritable tissue in your heart to fire and mess the natural pacemaker up.  I know it sounds ridiculous when people tell you it will be OK, but its true. A deadly arrhythmia comes on without notice. Even if this happens to us, it is an extremely peaceful way to go and I would not worry about it. It wont happen to you. God is testing your strength. We will all be chock full of character when we're 95 !
