darn pvc's!!!

[luckylaura12]

So glad I found this forum.  I have had pvc's off and on for about 8 years... they are horrible.  I found this website because I googled how many pvc's are too many.. I see I am not alone, yay!  My husband also thinkgs I'm crazy, so being able to read other stories and know that I am not alone is really wonderful.  I think I make mine worse by constantly waiting for them to happen and worrying about them... it's always on my mind and I hate it.  I am on toprol also and not sure it's helping at all, have been for over 6 months now.  I've had EKG's, Echo's etc. all say "normal"  I sure don't feel normal!!  
:(

You've had these things for 8 years so you probably know more about what causes them then I do, but diet is very important in triggering my palps (I have PACs).  Sugary foods, salty foods and carb heavy foods always seem to trigger mine...even more so than caffeine.  If you haven't tried it before, you may want to try cutting sugar out of your diet as much as possible and see if that makes them any better.

You are definitely not alone. There are many here who are in the same boat.  Definitely watch your stress as that will surely cause them to act up.  And also keep an eye on any stomach issues.  They can cause them to flare as well.  And as hard as it is to believe they are deemed not a concern in an otherwise healthy heart which yours has been evaluated to be so the next step really is to figure out how to not let them take over your mind and life.  When you notice yourself overly thinking about them change the scene.  Do something else, something you like to do that will distract you from the tendency to dwell on them.  If you are able to do this it will be very likely that you will stop noticing them all together at some point.  Hang in there and stay strong,  Don't let the crazy beats run your life.  Take care and welcome to the forum.
