Atenolol once or twice daily ?
My cardiologists has suggested I change my 50mg Atenolol daily dose (mornings) to 25mg twice a day. I have been taking the one dose for well over 30 years for the treatment of mild hypertension but since the onset of PVCs he says taking the same dosage twice daily could help with the ectopic beats.

I suffer from night time palpitations which I have had for over 4 years now. I have has every test under the sun including heart scans, ecg's, angiogram and calcium scoring and much more. The general opinion from my consultant is that I have benign PVC'S but 3 different halter monitors have proved inconclusive

New here - experiencing quadrigeminy, trigeminy and bigeminy
Hi, 49 year old woman here with a history of PVC's my entire adult life. They used to be very intermittent, I'd get an episode or 2 a day lasting a few minutes to an hour for a few months, then nothing for a year, etc. I was told not to worry about it and didn't. Now it's been worsening over 3 years

How long have you had afib?
I have para afib for three years. Cryo ablation in March of 2019. Don’t know why but been having lots of PVCs lately. Worried afib is gonna come back. My afib always started after having PVCs. I hate PVCs because they take my breath away right when I’m in the middle of something.

Flecainide of beta blockers?
I've got PVCs, 24% of all beats at the last halter. Was prescribed 50mg Flecainide twice a day. It s not working now, started feeling the fast/extra hard beats again. I have an appetite my EP next week. Should I agree to increase the dose of flecainide (which is what I think he'll suggest) or ask to

Cardiac MRI ?
Has anyone here been referred for a cardiac MRI and a stress test to determine the source of their ectopic beats ? This is what the electrophysiologist suggested yesterday when I went to see him after been referred to him by my cardiologist. To be honest I left the clinic a bit disappointed as he was

No PVCs if I exercise regularly. Taking Flecainide. Why do they go away when I exercise?
I have been diagnosed with PVCs. On my halter, 24% of all beats were PVCs. My cardiologist said this was very high. He recommended ablation, but the idea of this scared the hell out of me, so he prescribed 50mg twice a day of Flecainide. The weird thing is, if I run for 30 mins every other day, I don't

New to Afib
I’ve had PVCs for years but lately have had new symptoms which could be Afib. I was woken in the night by a strong, rhythmic flapping sensation in my heart, together with a racing heartbeat. The flapping was very distinct, like a bird’s wings, and went on for a few seconds, maybe a minute. Does this

Anxiety and PVCs
I get occasional PVCs , but anxiety throughout the day, maybe one panic attack a week, where my heart races for 5 minutes or so. Is this a dangerous situation, as in is there a chance the high heart rate will cause PVCs that lead to arrest?
