I am a 48 year old male that has had pvc's for over 3 years.I had a couple of stress tests and everything checked out ok.Lately, I am only having them after I eat.I will not have them all morning and I eat and they are very strong.They
go away and then I eat dinner and they come back.I go to bed and they go away.What would cause pvc's only after
eating.

Some people have argued that they may result from changes in vagal tone and there is increased vagal tone during digestion. I have never seen any indepth articles discussing possible mechanisms, it is all speculation.
