pvc's && rollercoasters & such

Im a daily pvc sufferer..i take 15mg of buspar a day for anxiety and Im told my pvc's are benign. My question is...is it safe to ride rollercoaster and high water rides? Im sure this sounds like such a crazy question but Ive visited parks and not rode anything because I was afraid to get too hyped and my heart race and beat all nutso. How do you all cope with riding on a plane with pvc's too?

thank you for your kind words! This will be my first time flying solo with my 1 y/o so Im hoping that he will be on his bestest behavior. Ive flown once since my pvc's started 6 months ago and I was ok on the flight but then again I had my hubby there to comfort me if I started to freak a bit.  I try not to let pvc's stop me from doing things but sometimes my mind just gets so caught up. Luckily my pvc's dont happen much since im on this anxiety medicine. Im sure ill be ok, even got me a cardo appt set up right before I go on the flight just to put my mind at ease a bit!

You just have to remember that PVCs won't do you any harm wether you are on the ground or in the air. I'm a bit claustrophobic and I always feel a quite panicy being stuck in a metal tube thousands of feet in the air. I was a bit worried flying a few months back as it was first time flying with a baby and I'm a really nervous flyer at the best of times. It was also my first time flying since I started getting thousands of PVCs when pregnant. I was worried that my PVCs would go crazy and I'd get lots of runs. My PVCs weren't any worse than they are on the ground. They were pretty good actually. Just one PVC every 10 mins or so. Try your best not to let these things stop you from flying and doing normal things. I feel great about flying now. I see these things that make me nervous as a challenge and once you've done them you feel more confident.
