PVC's worse with sinus congestion?

[Haileys Mom]

The past two days, my PVC's were bad. I noticed that my sinuses seemed so congested and my whole head had that feeling like the sinuses were acting up.

I then took a Dayquil at work and after that took effect, my sinuses cleared a great deal and the PVC's stopped.

Does anyone else notice this pattern?

I'm almost 19 and have PVCs. I had a ultra sound and stuff done. I had a sinus infection 2 months after and if stuffed my head and upset my stomach. I have the same feeling as you. I think its normal. Ask your doctor for some medicine. I'm about to do the same. Late reply! Sorry! How are you feeling now? Same feeling after your sinuses were gone.

wow what u said is true.....i suffer from chronic sinusitis due to severe allergies, dust, pollen etc.....and my pvcs only come on when i have a sinus attack.....whick is like twice a week.....i have to believe it has something to do with our heart is beating irregular when we are sick.....so when the heart beats irregular, thats when the pvcs come..

I am new to this forum.  I am 64 years old.  I've had PVC's since I was 18.  A good share
of the time I don't notice any.  Other times I get a mess of them and they last for a week
or two; then the're gone.  Had a stress test years ago, have had many EKG's, lots of
bloodwork, and they say everything is fine.  Years ago I quit smoking, however, I replaced
the smoking with chewing tobacco, and I still drink a little too much coffee.  I've been
told by doctors that these two items alone could be the cause of many of the PVC's.
Anyway, I feel for anyone with them...they are extremely irritating.

YES!

I have those exact symptoms...only I'm 24.

For some reason, I started getting an irregular heartbeat last Sunday. When I got it checked out, I was told it's normal and that everyone has them but very few can feel them (how lucky are we?!).

However, throughout this week, I've had an increasing amount of difficulty with trying to breathe. My breathing feels heavy, especially after a meal and/or while sitting. The breathing is still heavy, but not quite as badly, when I'm standing.

I'm an athletic individual who prides himself on maintaining great physical fitness. I usually workout 3-5 days a week and generally eat pretty well. I just don't get what's going on at all.

I've also noticed minor little pains all around my chest and in my left arm pit tonight. They're very minor, like a 2 on a scale of 1-10; they've just big enough to feel them.

I have been under a lot of stress over finances and relationship issues, but I'm worried this is something that's happening because of a physical ailment (blood clot? pneumonia? heart disease? stroke?) and it's not being diagnosed. It just seems odd that I've been diagnosed with PVC's, and within a few days I'm suddenly getting small pains all around my upper body and my breathing is becoming quite heavy. I'm concerned this is being pushed aside as nothing to worry about by my PCP because of my good physical shape and age.

Help!

I have PVC's at a rate of 15 to 20 in 60 seconds, I noticed after a about an hour my bronchial tubes seem very congested as well as my nose gets very stuffed up.  I have difficulty concentrating on being normal because my breathing is affected so much.  My doctoor who ran an arythma chart said he could see the PVC and said it wasn't dangerous, that some people feel them and some don't and that everyone has them.  I don't know how anyone cannot worry when they come on.  Sometimes I am free from PVCs for a couple of months but then they come back.  It makes me feel like I have to hold my breath and causes me to cough quite often in a 60 second period.  I am 66 years old and have had these for many years on and off.  They seem stress related and if I eat a big meal they start in.  I am on atenolol 50 mg  to regulate my heart beat but sometimes I hve to take a valium to relax me enough to stop the PVCs .  It's a miserable feeling that makes you feel like anytime something more serious is going to happen.  Anybody else have these symptoms.

Count me in too.

Thanks for the input. I'm not alone.

Can I just say that today, they are BACK and they are bad???

I also feel weird pains in my back and then I just feel yucky in the chest and my heart seems to be 'lagging' or something odd. I just don't feel 'right'!!!

I'm tired of feeling this way. I'm only 39 and now matter what tests I get done, everything comes back OK. That's good but then why do I feel this way?

I'm wondering if it's because I have a constantly active mind and it could be constant anxiety. I must just have that type of personality or something. I hope it's nothing serious!

I am under stress with worrying about my Dad's health and well-being. Caring for an 18 month old and working full time is hard, but I'm not complaining.

Anyone else here feel not quite right? Like their bodies are feeling different than before? I hope it all goes away once Spring comes and the weather gets nice here. I don't like being cooped up in the winter with the dry heat! Makes my head stuff and sinuses get wacky.

Thanks for reading. I appreciate it!
