PVC'S STOPPING AND STARTING?

Can PVC's stop (or at least become so benign you can't even feel them) for 7 months and then, one night out of the blue, come plowing back into my life at 3 am? I haven't knowingly felt any PVC's since June of last year, then last night I had an intense hours  worth.Today so far, not a single one. Worked outside yesterday first time pretty much all winter........also cleaned out chicken coop. Could THAT have triggered them? Did I overdo? Can that even trigger PVC's? I HATE these things! They scare me to death. I'm a 67 y/o woman and I see my cardio 2X a year and he tells me my heart is good. Guess I'm just being silly and would love some reassurance. Thank you all so much.

Yes they can - mine seem to follow a short term pattern of off and on by the day, with even shorter hourly cycles of off and on mixed in.

I find fatigue, dehydration, lack of sleep and anxiety trigger mine. If I combine 2 or more of those I will be in trouble.

At your age probably over 90% of people are getting PACs and PVCs daily if not hourly.

Their is not even a category for 67+ in this study so the frequency is likely to be higher in your case than the 45-65 category.

The only thing that likely has changed is that you are suddenly feeling them all of a sudden for whatever reason, since you have probably had hundreds if not thousands  of them over the last 7 months.

Ignore them and they’ll go away. At least you don’t have sustained like me at the age of 17.

I'm sorry yours are sustained. I couldn't tolerate that. Is there nothing they can do? Meds? Surgery?
