PVC's and PAC's

[thumper1961]

Hello i am 49 year old female with a long history of PVCs since my 20's.  In June I had a run of PVCs that lasted 4 entire days, all night and all day. I have had an EKG an Echo a Stress test and as well as all my blood work, Now the PVCs are back again, this time lasting for 5 days now. They carry on all day, all night. They wake me up, prevent from sleeping and cause me much discomfort. How can this many PVCs not be dangerous when they are coming every couple of minutes?

It seems like my heart is not getting a break. I am worried that one of these times my heart will not reset itself. I am scared. My Cardio keeps saying since I have normal heart maybe it is stress. I am stressed with these things happening all day.  I started taking Omega 3 a couple of days ago to see if it would help.  I am at my wits end with these PVCS. The weird thing is that i feel better when i am active such as cleaning, walking ect. Please any advice would be great.

Ventricular premature beats or PVCs are often detected in individuals with a variety of underlying structural heart disease, as well as persons without any apparent heart disease. PVCs produce few or no symptoms. However, some people may experience palpitations or dizziness. There is not much data to suggest that the presence of PVCs in patients with apparently normal hearts is associated with increased mortality. On rare occasions, frequent PVCs can cause worsening of heart function, which can improved once the PVCs are suppressed. A medication such as a beta blocker is typically the first choice used to suppression of symptoms related to PVCs. If beta blockers are not effective, an electrophysiologst may decide to try a different antiarrhythmic drug. For patients with symptomatic PVCs that do not respond to medications, a procedure called a radiofrequency ablation may be considered to eliminate the source of the PVCs.

I was having thousands a day and went to the Cleveland Clinic for an ablation but I was also having tachycardia which they fixed. Make sure you find an electrophysiologist, not just a cardiologist. I only have a few a day now.
