Does anyone notice muscle twitching throughout their body along with PVC’s?

No, PVCS do not cause muscles in other parts of your body to twitch/spasm... but low potassium can make PVCS worse and cause a bit of muscle twitching.

also low magnesium causes muscles to twitch, try 300 mgs of mag. at nite at health food store for dissolveable magnesium which the body assimilates better. potassium can be purchased at any drug store 550mg tablets helps lessen pvcs tremendously just don't take more than that amt. per day.

A PVC may cause palpitations or a “flutter-like” feeling in the chest. If PVC’s occur frequently enough, they can cause a drop in blood pressure and/or even cause fainting. You may want to contact your cardiologist or primary-care provider regarding your symptoms so proper diagnostic studies and treatments can be performed.

Thanks,

Had a complete work up and wore an event monitor 4 or 5 times throughout my life. The symptoms I have were diagnosed as PVC’s but noticed they coincide with muscle twitching. When I notice muscle twitching I’ll also get a few PVC’s a day along with the twitching. Not simultaneously but for example I’ll notice an eyelid twitch and maybe an hour or so after that a PVC. Was wondering if maybe any of this is stress and anxiety related or neorological.
