Carrie is on a distinguished road
I'm 67 and just started having PVCs last year. When I try to take a walk, I get very tired out. I mean really tired out...enough so that I need to take a nap. Walking used to be energizing for me, but not now.

I do climb stairs about a dozen times times a day, do gardeing, and try to keep busy, but I can't exercise (walk longer distances) like I used to before the PVCs. It just wipes me out.

The odd thing is that my PVCs lessen when my heart rate is over 85 or so and they get worse when my pulse is lower, like in the 70's. I also can bring on PVCs just by eating a large meal, or leaning back in a chair, or lying on my left side. So odd. I can really relate to those of you who posted here.
