Has anyone noticed PVCs double when your hungry Mine get a lot worse when hungry.

Yes! I make sure and eat small meals througout the day. Because the flip side is, if I eat too much I get them too! But on an empty stomach the pauses feel a lot worse.

YUPPPPPPPP, I had a few PVCs this morning, and had a late breakfast/lunch between work stuff, and they quieted down very quickly.

It's so strange all the millions of people who can miss meals and be fine I have dinner late and my heart is dancing for the rest of the week sometimes. My PVCs have got more frequent since my last lot of tests do you think I should go back to see docs or it will be ok.?

[Jampot1084]

I use to be able to control then by eating regular and better but now that does not work should I be worried?

[jkfrench]

I think you should go back just for piece of mind. I always go back for a holter when they increase. Last time that happenned, I went back for the holter. When my doctor called to tell me I was fine the PVC's almost stopped. It is worth it for me. But remember, an increase isn't going to hurt you or your heart. The number just doesn't matter. But, piece of mind is a good thing!!!

Mine def increase or come on if I haven't eaten well. In fact that's how all my trouble started. I used to have PVCs around ovulating and that's it, but then I started getting them if I had too much coffee and not enough water and food. But the worst was when I was fasting Ramadan I was in the ER with over 15 PVCs a minute and they concluded it was low potassium from fasting. So why some people can fast in the desert no problem and I'm here in the east coast in summer fasting and get low potassium I dunno. But my BMI is low- underweight and it's hard for me to get ALOT down quickly. Like Jodi I eat several snack size meals daily sometimes I'm munching all day. My diet is very limited though as well.
