PVC's for many years. I found out what causes mine!

[csrutkey]

Started having pvc's in my early 20's. First time was after too much caffeine. Wore a halter and GP said all was good. Had anxiety attack from it because it was not explained and I could feel something was wrong. Finally told what they were and that I was not going to die from it. I found out my thyroid was underactive. For the next 25 years I had a few here and there. Then about 5 years ago I had them really bad after drinking 3 huge glasses of coke during a 2 hour dinner at a restaurant and ended up in the ER they were so bad. They told me to take magnesium and see a cardiologist. The cardiologist ran more tests and said to avoid caffeine and continue with the magnesium. They went away. Then about a year later they returned but not too bad. Went to see the cardiologist and he determined they were triggered by hormone changes due to me age. He put me on 30mg of verapamil and they went away. I took it for about a year and a half and gradually went off the verapamil. About 3 months ago I started noticing a few more often and went back to get on the verapamil again. My tip is check your thyroid. Take supplements like magnesium and calcium (they work together) and keep in mind it may be hormonal changes. If you need to take something ask your doctor if verapamil will work for you, it has helped me so much. Most of all, if you've had an EKG, or other testing of your heart and ruled out serious problems, believe you will be ok and try to no worry. I thought I'd drop dead and worried so much for nothing! Your not alone, your not crazy, your not gonna die. Keep saying this to yourself when your having them and try the best you can to breathe through it and relax.
