arrythmia and exercise

Hi,

I've written before but I wanted to ask about arrhythmia and exercise.  If I do exercise in the mornings I will usually have alot of episodes of pvcs, pacs and sometime NSVT by around 3pm but not usually during or right after exercise.  I am so scared to keep exercising.  The other day I just did slow walking and then this morning I played badminton with my son and by the afternoon I had arrhythmias.  Does anyone else experience something like this? I don't want to drop dead.  I've been through alot of testing and they say I am structurally normal but am scheduled for an MRI at the end of the month.

Thanks,

Thanks for your comments. I am 34.  But I have suffered with these crazy things on and off for about 17 years. I've worn monitors, had 2 nuclear test, 100s of ekgs, stress tests.  Now the last thing is the MRI which if it does not show any scar tissue they say I am fine and will not need an EP study.  

Thanks

I hope the MRI tells you what is causing the problem and that a fix if found.

In the mean time you may want to start taking an aspirin a day to help guard against blood clot formation from the PAC problem... that may also include flutter and fibrillation, which can (with low probability) cause clots to form...not good.
