PVC question (brugdada syndrome patient)

Hello heres my question. I am a 36 year male who was diagnosed with brugada type 1. I have throughout my life have a flutter/palliation feeling but not until 1 month ago attributed it with pvc's. Upon seeing the PVC's I had unifocal PVC's. After my diagnosis, my cardiologist (never had one till a month ago) had me implant a ICD/Pacemaker (boston) and told me all my labs were border line. Holter monitor also showed everything was normal. I am 5'7 and 235 lbs ( MD told me to lose weight) . Now I have been reading about Brugada but I don't find them to be associated with PVC's in the Literature I sought. Why am I having random PVC's. no one in my family has had heart disease nor have died of a young age. Can you shed a little light for me please. thank you

hi,

i was never diagnosed with brugada, but was positive for late potentials by my EP back in '99. the following E.P. study proved unremarkable. this was all initiated by chronic PVCs since the age of 29. so, I will just say that I would take your EP's  advice. You may want to try to lose some weight. I had to. Still do. TRY NOT TO WORRY. PvCs are a very common disturbance to many here. I HAVE HAD THEM FOR over 38 years.
This is a good forum with much support. many people with lots of knowledge and experience with these annoying PVCS. PLEASE forgive my typing, this IPAD keyboard is acting strange. best to you
