Does anyone get headaches with their PVCs?

[kbaker11]

I get PVCs that happen several times a minute everyday.  I often get a headache around my eye area when this happens.  Does this happen to anyone else?  I know they're related, because my headache doesn't occur until my PVCs act up.  Also, I sometimes get a dull pain around the lower area of my heart.  I haven't found many accounts of these symptoms along with them.  I'm just wondering if I should be concerned with these newer symptoms?  Does anyone else feel this and spoke to a doctor about it?
Thanks!

I'm not sure what to think of it either :).  I will let you know if I find anything out...

I also get mild headaches and a very dull chest pain from the PVCs. I've mentioned the chest pain to my cardiologist (because I also couldn't find many people saying that the PVCs caused pain) but he said they shouldn't really do that. I'm not sure what to think about it...

Hi, yeah I've wondered if it's stress related or some outside reason other than the PVCs.     The thing is though is that I won't have a headache until I have a bad episode of these. It comes on as I'm having them.  I still feel it's the result of the PVCs for now.  Then I get really tired after or during them.  I'm pretty in tune with my body, but definitely have a lot to learn.  Thanks for your insight.  I'm going to speak with a doc soon and get to the bottom of this.

I have had PVCs for 34 years and I have had headaches for 20.  Where I see no correlation between getting PVCs and H/As, there is something you probably aren't thinking of.  If you are getting a headache, you might have fatigue, or pre-anxiety and this can definitely bring on the PVCs.  This happens to me quite often.  It just so happens that my body tells me EVERYTHING so I pretty much can tell you hours before a headache or the onset of PVCs.  Fun, huh?  I'm psychic...hehehee.

Thanks it's great to have this resource.  I will be seeing my doctor soon and will keep you updated... especially if there's a correlation.  For now, I don't feel so cuckoo about this and alone :).

I know a little about an enlarged heart I was diagnosed with hypotrophic cardiomyopathy 4 years ago...  I'm lady64 I know the myopathies aren't the only causes of enlarged hearts but they are a couple... I was told to loose weight, stop smoking cigerettes and to do light cardio excercise.... maybe you don't have one of these but your doctor will let you know.

Do you know anything about having an enlarged heart, and what this mean's, freaking out! Will this shorten my life span, is it alright to exercise? Sorry for all the questions. How did this even happen?  Please Please help me to understand a little about what's happening

I've had PVCs for a long time, and haven't found a connection between them and the symptoms you mentioned.  It wouldn't hurt to talk with your doctor to see if he/she has any ideas for you.  Let us know what you find out....interesting question!
