im going a wedding in 10 days and was going have a little drink but got get drunk cuz got two kids, im gonna try a drink and because i have anxiety ill probably sit there checking my pulse, it sounds daft but these heart things are scary arent they. Some say avoid caffeine, beer/alcohol, smoking, chocy I only have they chocy, i dont smoke, drink, or have caffeine and i still get them BUT my boy is slightly overweight, he used to smoke, drinks and has loads of energy drinks and he doesnt even know what an ectopic beat is, he never has them, wonder if he'll just get them one day like me

My cycles were always irregular but I could tell you when I was getting ready to start because I would start having tons of PVCs and PACS about a week before my period.  I had an episode of tachycardia that landed me in the ER, had to give me adenosine to stop it.  I started my period the next day.  Hormones definitely affect them for me.

Mine started after the birth of my 2nd child too.  That was 16 years ago.  I struggle with panic attacks as a direct result of my PAC's.  I know the PAC's are benign, but that doesn't make it any less scary. Although I avoid certain foods and drinks, I still feel several a day.  I haven't had a Dr Pepper in 10 years...I could sure use one.

I have PAC's.  I do notice them more about a week and a half before and also during that time.  Doesn't leave much time for not suffering with them, especially when it arrives on time, every 28 days.  My doctors, and many articles I've read, say that hormones play a factor in PVC's/PAC's.  I'm sure many ladies on this forum would agree as well.  I avoid caffeine, alcohol, msg, sweets, large meals, and I exercise as much as I can to help lessen the feelings.  Anxiety is a huge trigger for me as well. Best to you!
