PVCs during exercise

[Ceelos81]

So today I get home from work and decide I want to do a workout on my bike. And I started to get pvcs and it scared the heck out of me. I’ve suffered from pics for over 10 years and had ekg-echo-chest X-ray and blood work ups and no structural heart were found. I do have anxiety and I just wondered if it’s due to the increase in adrenaline that’s pumping while I’m working out. I had no other symptoms no chest pain or shortness of breath. Can anyone relate?????😞

Hi there I had my very first pvc's during a workout years ago. It freaked me out but I ignored it and they went away before I was done with my workout. Since then I have had bouts of pvc's varying in frequency from a few an hour to one every 3rd or fourth beat for hours on end refered by my cardiologist as bigemeny and trigemeny.

I have had all the tests, echo's, stress echo's, halter monitors, ekg's etc.

Cardiologists say my heart is normal and not to worry about it that I am in the group of people they call "symptomatic" meaning I can feel them and sometimes when bad they make me lightheaded.

They tell me there are people who get 30k pvc's a day that dont feel a thing and have no idea they even have them until they show up on a routine ekg.

They offered me metropolol to take when I feel they are too bothersome. I declined and instead of a beta blocker have been taking 240mg of magnesium evey night and that has stopped all the instances of bigemeny and trigemeny. I still get them every day though not nearly as many as before taking the magnesium.

Talk to your cardiologist but im sure he will tell you not to worry about it like mine do.

If only they could feel how shitty it is when they are happening maybe they wouldnt be so dismissive of them.
