Im taking the BB every 5 days now and I still have no skipped beats unless I forget to take the Fish Oil for a few days.  I take the BB for when my hormones change.  When I ovulate and have have my period and the hormone changes in between causes me to have a string of PVC's and a lot of chest pain so I take the BB during this time.  I am on my second or third stretch of going 5 days in between each pill which I now cut in half.

I started taking Omega 3 Fish Oil a week ago 600mg - 1200mg per day and since then I have had no skipped beats or palps at all.  I have had a few PVC's but they were not as strong.  My heart was skipping more than the PVC's so its releif for me.  I was on a BB at the same time and am now going off of it.  It will be interesting to see if it was the BB or the Oil.

Hi there.  I read it, too.  I just happened to have started fish oil when I read it and noticed that I was doing really well.  I thought it was one of my good spells, but maybe it is not a coincidence.  I had forgotten to take it twice a day for two days and yesterday I had a PVC day.  Not as bad as I get, but annoying.  I took two yesterday and today, so far, I am feeling okay.  I think there is truth to it.  It certainly won't ever hurt you!
