That seems odd to me - there are people with heart problems that get heart surgery, right?
Is the friend on any meds to control the
PVCs? I guess I'm surprised an anesthesiologist would turn down a procedure that way, unless there were other factors that made it a greater risk.
As for you - I went through a period of about 12 months when I had about 10,000
PVC's per day, every. single. day.
Now I might have 100. Last couple days have been a lot worse, but nothing that concerns me (funny how 12 months of it will toughen you to a few days of heavy
PVC's now and then).
Just drink lots of fluids for the blood donation so your heart doesn't have to work harder to pump around the slightly lower volume of blood.
