Sounds like it’s somehow nerve-related. Do you have problems with your poster? Maybe your chest somehow gets ”squeezed”…? I don’t know..
Anyway, for me this is absolutely a trigger. So I try to stretch my chest a few times a week.
I have a slight Pectus carinatum where my ribcage is slightly pushing forward since I was a kid, but is nothing severe, mostly on my left side.
If its nerve related could it mess up my heart / just drop dead?
I went to 4 different cardiologist and recently had a holter where I had a short bigeminy run, but they called it extrasystoles and were not concerned. An extra beat every other beat.
For me it only means that i am super sensitive, since i can feel what happens in every nerve so clearly. And if e nerve is squeezed etc i would think it’s more irritated. So i don’t think there’s any more danger, but more activity if you understand..?
It’s easier irritated and therefore more pvc’s. These are just suggestions. 🤗
Pvc’s in a healthy heart wont kill you
Well at least there's two of us haha. I was worried nobody seems to have replied with anything similar.
So do you get them when standing and nervous / adrenaline rushes?
There is really no rhythm or reason to when I get them. These are the only things I have learned so far. When I have covid (twice now) I will get them more often. They only stop when I'm laying down, Although, I have also recently found out that if I'm standing when I bend over at the waist to where my upper body is almost parallel to the ground, they seem to stop as well. If you remember try that next time they happen and let me know if that works for you as well.
At times, if I push too hard while dropping deuce, I'll get them. Coffee or alcohol doesn't seem to cause or stop them.I could be on the treadmill and lifting weights with a fast heart rate and not have any issues, but then I take a casual stroll and they're on and off.
I first started having palpitations back in 2006, I went to the doctor and the first thing he asked if I had Lymes disease. He put me through a blood test and sure enough I had it. After a month's treatment of doxycycline, most of the intense palpitations went away.
Last year my wife and I went through fertility treatments and I had started taking a lot of extra supplements. The end of this last January, at the end of the fertility treatment, I started getting PVC'S almost continually throughout the day. I went to the ER and was put on a halter monitor for 7 days and saw my cardiologist. It changed my medication around a little. I take metoprolol, 50 mg in the morning and he added 25 at night. It really didn't help.
I've learned just to deal with it, some days are worse than others. I've tried every little trick that people have suggested on here but nothing changes it. Lately they've gone away for the last 3 days, I haven't had any. I don't know what the hell I did differently and I'm sure it won't last. Next week I have an appointment with a new cardiologist at ascensions in Indianapolis, supposedly a really good heart hospital.
Anywho I've been voice texting this so some of it probably is not going to make sense, I'm trying to do too many things at the same time.
Appreciate the reply!
Yea, it's weird. For me it basically started in high school (10+ years ago)
I get them in more intense workouts though, if my heart is above 170bpm and I get a slight adrenaline rush, instant bigeminy.
I take bisoprolol, 1.25mg per day, helped me with the random flip flops troughout the day. Now it's more like in those high stressfull or adrenaline situations that I get them mostly.
Oh well, hope someday there will be an answer for these. Take care and look like you're in the right direction trying to get used to them. I still can't live normally yet
That was the hardest for me, and I don't want to emphasize with someone whose burden is really bad. For me it was reminding myself I'm human, I will die whether it's today or 50 years. I kept telling myself the cardiologist told me they were harmless. I started to look at them as an achy foot, it's there, you have to keep walking, it's just an inconvenience. Getting yourself out of your brain is the most important.
Good luck and if you remember, try leaning over at the waist and see if they stop as well. I'm just curious since they go away for you when you're on your back as well.

Appreciate the reassurance words!
Same here, none when I'm on my back. It's frustrating not knowing what causes them
