pac surpress

[heartfluttersflyawayplz]

i read on her somewhere that it was dangerouse to surpress the pvc/pac anyone elsa heard of that. because the atenolol that am taking is doing just that i still have them but today they very tiny ones like a baby butterfly in there . which i like so much better any thoughts on that comment someone made .

Never heard that or remember reading it. If it was dangerous, why would the docs continually hand out meds for it? Suppressing a sneeze, on the other hand, is not good.

I've never heard that at all.

You said "you read on here somwhere",  Be careful what you read and don't take it to seriously unless what you read is posted by a doctor on the "Ask The Doctor" forum.

I had a response one timd in the past on this very "support" site telling me "that my next exercise might will be my last" because I experience PVC's during exercise at times.

A Cardiologist told me to stay away from message boards because they can do more harm than good, and getting people worried.  

And oh yes btw, the Cardiologist asked me "what idiot" posted that.  He said he obviously did not go to Med School.  A healthy heart experiencing PVC during, or after exercise will NOT kill you I was by this Cardiologist who DID go to Med School for many yrs.

Um, I've been reading on PACs and PVCs since 1995 and I have never in all the resources I have found seen anything about that.  It makes no sense.  The only thing I can figure is someone was confused, as sometimes the side effects from the medications used to ease symptoms (in benign palpitations) are more bothersome or worrisome than the ectopic beats,

It happened about 3-4 yrs ago.  I think I know who the poster was but am not 100% sure what his/her name was, but am 95% sure and therefore can't post the name of the poster I'm not 100% sure about   If there is a way to go back through all these posts without to much trouble, and if I can go back that far I will find it.

Just because some people do not remember that post does not mean that the person who remembers that post remembers it wrong or misunderstood/misread it.  I know what I read:

It was crystal clearly stated "WATCH OUT BECAUSE YOUR NEXT EXERCISE MIGHT BE YOUR LAST" .  The person who posted that believed strongly that PVC's during exercise can kill you.

If I find that Post I will copy/paste it.

Never mind, I think you were responding to "heartflutters" post.  I was in a hurry. I should not read and post when in a hurry.  My apology.

If by any chance your post was also for me I will try to find that post from that person who said that, but I think you posted in response to "heartflutters"

I found it!  Its under the headline "Exercise and PVC's" from the 2004 "Ask The Doctor" Board.  

My response and responses from others are still on the site but a "fwilson and a "Fred"s" post must have been removed for they are not on there anymore.

Other people besides me responded to these two posters I mentioned above who posted about "sudden death" during exercise due to PVC's.
