[kay2486]

does anyone else get pvcs after eating, i had a couple slices of toast last night and decided to lie down on left side after, i felt this weird beat like a pvc or flutter, anyone get this?

I get about 8000 pvcs a day, but usually only am aware of them after eating, when leaning back in a chair, going to bed, or lying on my left side. I have them on and off during the day, but those activities seem to make them more pronounced. I, too, think the vagus nerve has something to do with it. Sometimes I get kind of tired while having them.  

I don't take a beta blocker for the pvcs, because they tend to get worse when my heart beats more slowly.  When my pulse gets in the mid-eighties, the pvcs tend to lessen or go away. If they're bothersome, I often walk around a bit or go upstairs, so they'll ease up.

Yes, I get them after I eat too much or drink too much water.  I think it aggrivates the vagus nerve.  Mine seems to be very sensitive.

When you search for PVC.  Put Heart before or after it.

Hello,

yes, I have this almost everytime I eat.  I'm not sure how to tell you to deal with it.  Maybe take a little walk before you lay down might help.  I've been dealing with it for 23 years and the worry is still there.  Best thing I have found is to do something to try to take your mind off it.
