Effect of Vitamin B6 on PVC/PAC

[eciftcioglu]

Hello there. I have had ectopics for over 10 years but for the last year they have increased and I can feel them everyday. I have been to a lot of cardiologists. I live in Turkey so its quite easy to directly go to a cardiologists rather than have to be dealing with a GP. They have found nothing on multiple occasions and told me to just live with it like most of you on this forum. I also have anxiety but it is very much under control from years of dealing with it. I have been searching ways to get rid of these things for a while now and I have tried many things including magnesium which did not help very much. Recently I had a blood test done which looked at some of my vitamins including vitamin B6, B9 and D. These were quite on the low side with vitamin D being in the insufficient area. I started taking B6 recently and I can't feel my ectopics anymore. They are not completely gone but they feel very subtle and if I wasn't so aware of what was going on in my body honestly I would have no idea if I was having any at all. B6 is known for regulating nervous system activity and I know that ectopics may be caused by nervous system issues. Now here is the interesting part. I was 17 years old when I first started having ectopics right before college. I didn't drink alcohol back then. When I got in to college I started drinking beer very often. Guess what, beer contains quite a bit of vitamin B6. I didn't have any issues with ectopics for about 6-7 years. About 2 years ago I stopped drinking for good in hopes of living a healthy life style and started working out 6 days a week whilst eating a very healthy diet(not necessarily healthy because I was dieting most of the time and was eating quite lower than I should have been eating for long period of times) and after a year of dieting and not drinking I started having ectopics everyday. I am have not tested this theory long enough to say its absolutely valid but it was quite shocking for me to see such a drastic change in just 1 week. For any of you out there that are like me, be on the look out for such things. Go get a blood test to see if you are having some kind of vitamin deficiency. Now this is just my story and do not take any supplements without consulting your doctor, ever. I was prescribed by my doctor because I was deficient in these vitamins. Hope this helps some of you out there and I will be keeping you guys updated on the topic.

Thanks for the info - will try taking vit B complex to see if it does anything to settle out my ectopics.
