I was doing so well for awhile with almost NO PVC's. What a teaser!!! Now all of the sudden they are back this morning!! I just want to cry. I hate being teased that maybe just maybe Im though with them. They came on one day out of the blue - is it too much to hope they will leave the same way too? I just want to cry right now. I figured venting here would be better as it always helps ease the mind to kno wwere not alone. Im sure it has to do with the recent stress I have been holding in due to some marital problems. My husband isnt as supportive as I want him to be and of course me having "issues" puts some stress on the marriage. The last few days I have been frustrated and angry inside...so Im sure it has something to do with the PVCs returning. Thanks for letting me vent.

I know how you feel-I've been there many times. Just remember they will pass. Usually for me they feel different, and I am convinced they are getting worse. Then after a while they calm down. Try not to be anxious (easier said) and hopefully they will go away faster.

I hate that. For awhile, I was not having many, but since my cold and big time stress with my dad's illness, they are back, even the holter monitor and echo results did not comfort me. I am a mess.

Gee, I would not know how to act if I did not cry everyday.

When mine feel different I am always convinced they will get worse too, it is scary.

Unfortunately that is how these PVC's mess with us. I actually had months and months of feeling just a handful a day. Then last year, they started up and lasted almost 8 months with very little relief. But, they did get better and yours will too. Hang in there. Stress is the worst trigger. Magnesium is helping me thank goodness!

I have seen a huge decrease since taking Magnesium. They seem to be less frequent and last for a shorter duration. I was having them for hours before - now maybe a few minutes when they are bad. Not sure if its Magnesium, prayer or me accepting them when they happen but definetely better. I am feeling better now this afternoon but mentally feel wiped out.

Most cardios agree that they come in waves. I am not sure they will ever go away. I just don't think they work like that, I think it's just about acceptance. I am with ya girly xoxox

They definitely come in waves--the one common denominator that every single doctor I have seen or spoken to say the same thing--adrenaline surges, stress, stress, stress, stress. Very often, the body is stressed, and we don't even realize the physical and psychological stresses that causes the "fight or flight" reaction, that pumps norophenephrine into the bloodstream--the major cause of PVCs, by every single account. We can't control our stresses, so, we can't control our waves of PVCs that come and go, but we can learn the relaxation techniques and have the faith to relax, if we have been diagnosed as having structurally normal hearts.

Thanksgiving blessings, all!
