Frequent recovery pvcs!

[Dannica04]

Lately I have been having frequent recovery pvcs. I get 1 pvc every 5-10 beats as soon as I stop excercising until my heart has returned to its normal rhythm. I'm waiting to see a cardiologist; however, I'm worried it won't show up on a stress test as it only seems to happen after prolonged periods of high heart rate. It makes me not want to work out which is definitely not the answer to good heart health. I'm 28, female, and about 25lbs overweight.

Frequent recovery PVC's are a normal phenomenon. Your doctor will likely want to run a stress test just to ensure they are benign and not of a malignant pattern or occuring more frequently peak exercise.

Barring any abnormalities there; just about every person alive will get recovery of PVC'S, how many you get would be relative to the amount you get at rest (Holter Monitor %).

A good way to think of it as a layman is; your pvcs should go away during exercise but be "made up" for in the 5 minutes of recovery. So if I normally have 60 PVC per hour, and I exercise 1 hour with no PVC it would be expected if I saw 60 PVC in the first 5 minutes of recovery.

Good information, thank you! For me, I will be having a great day with no pvcs, then once I excercise.....BOOM....there they are. I wonder if it has something to do with the adrenaline in your body after excercise.
