Yeah...you'll see that whenever I'm afraid I'm getting sick I come here and ask for support. When I get a stomach bug especially I get episodes of SVT and they really scare me. So, now I nearly set myself up for panic attacks every time a family member gets ill because I want to stay healthy so as to avoid the SVT. The illness doesn't scare me at all. You get sick, you sleep, you take meds, you get well. But the SVT and increased PVC's make it so worrisome and downright scary as to make the whole thing nightmarish.
There is a health supplement available at WalMart and GNC called EMERGEN-C. You add it to water and drink 1-2 packs a day. It is completely harmless and the increased vitamin C truly helps to boost the immune system. I take that stuff like it was gold in the winter (it's better than AIRBORN). My best friend is a chemist and she fully supports the stuff and has shown me literature that supports its benefits. And if nothing else she has shown me that it is completely harmless...so even if it is purely a placebo effect...I'm not inadvertently hurting myself like you can with some supplements.
Good health.........

I have had very benign, ignorable, palpitations for years but in December of 2006, I had my first episode of SVT and frequent PVC's. Two days later I was in bed with the flu. Normally, you are infected for a couple of days before the symptoms hit. Maybe it was a coincidence, but all my problems started during that bout with the flu in 2006.
