PVCs - will they always bother me?

Does anyone have any suggestions for getting over feeling like every PVC is going to kill you? I have had countless tests and ALL of them have come back saying that my heart is healthy.

I don't get a ton of PVCs all the time anymore. Once I started magnesium, that helped that. I do get a few REALLY noticeable ones every few days. When they happen, sometimes they take my breath away and then the panic sets in. Sometimes, it will ruin my whole day. I will sit there and think about it all day. Waiting, worrying, not able to let go of it. I'm afraid to exercise, although I've been told countless times that there is no reason I shouldn't. I just don't know what to do anymore. I wish I could go back to a time when this didn't happen.

Try taking GABA 750mg and L-theanine 100 mg every morning. This works for me. Good luck.

Unfortunately you can't go back to being in a place of ignorance about them.  You can only go forward and figure out how to deal with what is going on now.  I think the most important thing is to work on the fear this is causing you.  Maybe see a therapist for a couple of sessions to deal with your fear of death because I suspect once you stop fearing them to be dangerous they will stop pulling your attention away from your life ruining your day.  The less you panic about them the less intense they may feel.  Maybe consider looking into yoga or mediation as a counter measure when you feel one. Instead of allowing yourself to panic try to counter it by doing yoga or meditation in response.  Do something, anything to force yourself to think about something else.  I know they can be scary but they really are harmless in an otherwise healthy heart.  I wish you the best as you work to get control of your fear.  Take care.
