pvcs and steroidal epideral disc shots

[bigglenn357]

Like I have said before I have had these on and off for 5 or 6 years and right now Im wearing a heart monitor for 21 days and my pvcs have stopped before I put it on.So I was thinking when every time I have these episodes I have had epideral shots in my back for L5 s1 herniated disc which has steriods in them.My last 2 shots were in July and my pvcs were crazy then but I never thought if the 2 were related ? Anyone heard of any coralation between the 2 ? Thanks

That is a good question.  I, too, have had the epideral shots in my neck.  I do know if I take prednisone (a sterioid) that I am more hyper and I get palps.  I have a shot scheduled for Dec. 12, and I will see if it causes my PVCs?PACs to act up more.

No, but who really knows what PVC's come from anyway....  Even a doctor has the trouble of figuring that out sometimes.
