pvc WHILE exercising

[julesluvsdrew]

I've been reading a lot of the posts on here and the majority of people it seems have their pvcs after they exercise..which seems to be the "normal" thing...I'm worried now because when I just walk around the block to try to get some exercise I fall in to a heart beat with pvcs GALORE....Not just that but it feels just like a frog...very irregular!I do get a little short of breath,nothing drastic but just the pvcs alone make me stop and go immediatly home..I was just curious how unsafe it is just to keep on while my heart is doing this....I know I need exercise too...I have a structurally normal heart (as of 3 years ago,my last echo)...had ablation for V Tach....that helped for almost 3 years but now the areas are back..so im dealing with nsvt and my regular pvcs,sooooooooooo fun:)

I have PVC's daily, and when I'm walking I often have lots of them, but that's because my heart rate isn't high enough to cancel them out yet.  I actually have to exercise at a higher intensity!  As soon as I start to jog or exercise in a way that raises my heart rate above 120 or so, my PVC's disappear.

If your doctor has said it's okay to exercise, try getting your heart rate up a little higher and see if that makes them go away.  It's strange!

Hello
I am suffering from NSVT too at 22years old... so scary! Thankfuly I have a healthy heart.
I have an appointment with my EP pretty soon so ill let you know how that turns out.

Have you done any tests? are you on any meds? I did notice that beta blockers helped NSVT but not PVCs.

Hi, sorry to hear of the nsvt returning. I have nsvt also, and was wondering how long you've had this.? I've had it since I was 12, I get SEVERAL episodes a month. Sometimes a few in 1 day! I hate these things, i've tried everything to get rid of them, they just get worse the older I get!!  I can't imagine them getting any worse than they already are, I'm only 23, I can't imagine what its gonna be like when I'm 40!!

Hey there,thanks for the comments!Unfortunatly I dont have insurance at the moment so its a scary situation!!!!!HOpefully soon though I will be qualified through my job!Cross your fingers...Yes its deff like a frog is hoppin around in there.I just want to be able to do minimal activity and not feel like im going to go in to nsvt or WORSE.

Hi Julie. Your V Tach ablation failing after 3 years has to be very depressing to say the least. Do you think that maybe the same thing is happening only in a different area? I like how you describe it as a frog. I tell people that my heart is in spin cycle like a washing machine, but the frog description is closer to the truth. All day long I've been getting up to go for short walks and hardly getting any work done. Have you made an appointment with your cardiologist/EP doc? This is no way to live. What did we do to deserve this? In my case it's likely too many years of untreated sleep apnea.

I also have terrible pvc's and pac's while doing any moderate exercise, walking around the block or cleaning the house. i also get short of breath.

Hey!  Count me in on the PVCS while exercising group!  I usually get them, but once I get going real good, they go away.  They usually come back once I stop, but not as bad.  I have heard that exercise actually helps!  Good luck!
