Constant PVC's

I am a 50 year old female and have been experiencing regular, reoccuring PVC's (at least 4 - 5 PVC's/min) for almost a year now that seem to worsen at night and can awaken me when I am sleeping. I had extensive lab work completed (TSH, eletrolytes, CBC, LDL, Cholesterol) and all within normal limits. I have asthma so beta blockers are not an option. I work out regularly and am in relatively good physical condition (BMI = 24.7).

Any suggestions on what options I can pursue for relief?

You could try an ablation, I had my second one March 5th and seemed to help some and I don't usually have any at night. If you don't have to many spots like myself it might work pretty good in your case' they won't know until they get in there [heart]. Lorazepam will slow your heart way down at night and is pretty effective in stoppping PVC's [for me anyway at night] and helps you sleep better than anything else 'I've tried'. There is something called sodium calcium CB my doctor told me about t last weak, but don't know anything about it. Good Luck

Hi,

You mention the asthma, what are you taking for it? Some medications for Asthma may be prone to contribute to arrhythmias, such as Albuterol. Also, I believe that Calcium Channel Blockers can be used to treat PVCs for people that have Asthma.

Be well.
