Nasonex & PVC's

i have a question. about 5 months ago i started to get pvcs and some pacs. they finally stopped about a month ago. i get maybe one or two a day now. which is normal i guess. i'm not sure what i did to stop them. perhaps cutting down on cigs, changin my diet, breathing exersizes, vitamin b12 shots, eating a healthier diet or the combo of all those things. i'm glad they are gone and hopefully they will not return. my doc prescribed nasonex for my nasal alergies and swelling in nasal tissue. i tried it once and it did wonders for me. here is my concern. i was told by a few docs that certain over the counter cold medicines and other medicines can actually cause pvcs. does this pertain to nasonex as well. i mean,  i like the idea of breathing easier through my nose and not feeling like a baloon in the head all day but not at the cost of possibly getting pvcs again. anyone on this medicine here by any chance? any effect on your pvcs or palpitations? thanks in advance

Im almost certain inhaled corticosteroids like Nasonex, veramyst erc can trigger PVCS or PACS.
I wake feeling anxious then realize I'm having PVC or PACS.
I had stopped nasal spray 3 years ago and no PVCS OR PACS. recently started up Veramyst and I have them returning again.
I will stop tomorrow and keep you posted.
Doctors say no connection, pharmacists say can be absorbed systemically and can cause side effects such as this.

Our pharmacist told my son ( gets over a thousand ectopics a day but doesn't notice them) no cold meds and to use saline nasal spray.
Even if you do get some blips taking the nasal spray they are harmless and won't hurt you in any way.

I have used an inhaled steroid, nasalcort, (similar to nasonex) for years.  I had an ablation 3 years ago, but I was fine when I used it before then.

Nasonex is not generally associated with ectopic beats.  Regardless, pvcs/pacs are considered benign, like hiccups.
