Just a quick note to say hi!
saw your last post. sorry to here about the hassle. Its unfortunate because you have been very helpful and dedicated to replies for other members, myself among them. Had to cancel my GI and will re-schedule hopefully, when these things die down.

Thank you for everything!
thanks for the message, and for your replies. you and Kitt have provided me with some great links. hope all is well. the thing that I hate more than anything, is the unpredictability of these Ectopic flairups. I tell you, I have had these things in my life since I was 29, I am now 67, and this past April and May were the worst 2 months ever for PVCs. I just threw a couple now. anyway take care Artaud.

Hi Artaud,
i did check out that article in the British Journal ... facinating. I will simply ask the GI whether my random PVC flairups are GERD/Hiatal Hernia related. I will keep you and the forum posted on whay he says. I was put on a PPI 11 years ago for an E.R. visit that was thought to be angina..they did the Heart Enzymes workup - negative. GERD ---- but this article is very interesting. I think my moderately large hiatal hernia causes my stomach to come up through the diaphragm, reflux follows, and something irritates the node that causes these beats. you have mentioned the vagus nerve. i did notice on my holter report back in April that there was normal sinus rhythm, no PVC burden. the Holter showed in 41 hours 156,000 beats with 5225 ectopics. take care
