Hi

I can only give you my little bit of knowledge so here goes.

No

Alcohol

Chocolate

Caffeine

Cut back on cheese dairy products sleep slightly up at an angle in other words prop yourself up.

When the ectopics start drink really cold water.

You could try putting your finger in your mouth and blowing on it for 15 seconds hard.

I hope this helps read my previous posts

I found that I was dairy intolerant so it effected me as every time I ate dairy I would get a pounding heart

Hi an Ectopic Beat 1 every 5 is called trigemini ( spelling ? ) I have never been told Ectopic Beats can weaken the Heart ? always been told they are Harmless !! Mine started in 1982 after a Heart Attack still have them after a Triple Bypass in 2015. Recently had 3 stents in my LAD March 2018 and Ectopic beats disappeared for a couple of months now they are back, just been offered a 24 hour tape to see what's going on !!! But I suppose after having them for 36 years I am sure they aren't going to kill me !!

Seriously? You've just joined today, you've found a years old discussion, replied to a months old post with a vulgarity? Really?

TIP: not the best way to introduce yourself to the forum, Skippy.

Go to ur gp. I have a different heart condition and found caffeine helps me.

Staceyhunter in reply to gal4God

Really this is so interesting! I used to love my tea and was told to stay away from it because it could be causing my palpitations but looking back my palpitations were caused by anxiety so since quitting caffeine 7 months ago I have started experiencing horrendous ectopics. What is your heart condition??

Hello

I have ectopic beats for about 25 years and they are often every other beat. This showed on a loo recording I had done recently. If your heart is healthy you shouldn’t worry about them as that really does make them worse (for me ). I’ve also found that when they are really bad that my potassium levels are always low so if your doctor is sympathetic this might be something to get checked out !

They are incredibly frightening and horrible but take courage from the fact that if you really learn to love them they become less noticeable . Look up a York cardiologist on u tube he does some great videos on these blasted bumps .

Take care .
