PVC -Back problems

[Claire1994]

Hii Guys , I was thinking if maybe ectopics can cause in my case my chest ... because ... I can feel like clicking in my chest and sometimes when I push in that chest it skips ... other way if I sleep or relax my back I never had them only when I move with my hands up or chest ... if I lye down all day .. I will not have even one ... per day ... and also is very strange after each massage they gone for two months and then coming back ... this is my point .. why they gone just vanished ... and also I found out .. if I am taking magnesium by tablets never help me .. only epsom salt ... bath .. two cups .. every two days ...and I can feel straigh away ...I am not scared anymore because is not doing any other symptoms to me ... is just wierd skips .. but I want to find out ... more about it and maybe help more people with that ... also stimulating vegus nerv helped me a lot .. a tryed to drink coffee and alcohol when they gone .. and didn’t aftect at all .. I think mostly we are scared when we got them to do normal things which we usually did ... and also workouts , run, helping me a lot ...

Have you seen a doctor and had an ekg to diagnose PVC’s ? This is an a fib group so Im not knowledgable about pvc’s too much but know they can be annoying but usually harmless. I hope you dont drink high caffeine drinks such as energy drinks. The heart does like good hydration( mostly water) and adequate sleep.

Hi Claire,

It does sound as though your symptoms are more vagal particularly if they happen at night and are eased by exercise. It would be good if you could get an ECG whilst you are having them, then you could get a definite diagnosis. A Kardia reading is the other alternative, but it would need to be the 6 lead version to pick up the P waves which are associated with ectopics.

I got ECG ... today all good ... they said there is no problem with rythm or any abnormality ... I asked for monitor .. for 48 hours and she told me ... if I feel ectopics is all stress related .. because she can see my heart is strong and healthy ... don’t know if she can see that from ECG... but fair enough 🤣

May I ask how you stimulate the vagus nerve?

[Padayn01 in reply to MarkS]

Hi so the normal kardia can’t pick up ectopics?

[Claire1994 in reply to Padayn01]

They didn’t found anything on ECG ... but ecg can show a lot ... if u got something serious demaged ... ECG can be first kick off .. about vagus nerv is good cold showers and on yourube is good video about how to stimulate vagus nerv

Oh thank you as I mentioned before these skipped ectopics are driving me nuts

[MarkS in reply to Padayn01]

It certainly won't report ectopics. It only reports possible AF. However I do wonder whether it reports ectopics as possible AF sometimes. The 2nd channel on the 6 lead apparently is the best for picking up ectopics if you know what you're looking for. An EP may be able to identify ectopics from the normal Kardia.

Ok thank you for that I have a normal one I think I get the 6 lead and flog the other one

The funny things is ... when I was worried about other thing.. with my health ... they gone ... when I am not focusing on them .. sometimes I can’t feel it .. but . mostly i got them on and off ... sometimes two months nothing and then started again ... but I am going to fix my back on friday because I think is from my back posture ... and my chest is clicking ... a lot ...

[Padayn01 in reply to Claire1994]

Where does it click from in the middle?

[Claire1994 in reply to Padayn01]

second ribs ... I guess .. maybe I just got blocked somewhere because after deep tisue massage they always gone for month and then coming back ...do j got them every day ?

[Padayn01 in reply to Claire1994]

Most days might have 3 day break than they just come again just don’t know if it’s posture or something else

[Claire1994 in reply to Padayn01]

I went to chyropraktic... and she put my ribs back .. and I can say ectopics gone for good half of day let’s see how it will continue ... for sure I can see huge diference ... she said my muscles been sooo taugh... around my ribs .. and sometimes this can cause palpitations

[Padayn01 in reply to Claire1994]

Wow that's amazing, when you say put your ribs back where they out of place?

[Claire1994 in reply to Padayn01]

Kardia will show etopics if you can read an ECG.
