Rough times with pvc's

[taratownsend]

I have been having a rough time lately with all the pvc's and pac's. EVERYDAY!!! Every couple of beats. Please everyone keep me in your prayers, I need them right now.Jesus says where two or more come together in Jesus name whatever you ask shall be given to you, so please pray for these to go away or just ease up.

Many thanks & God bless,

Tara

I had a few sips of a martini yesterday and boy did that send my heart thumping.  However I was really dehydrated before the drink.  Its crazy how I have to start calculating my whole life now because of my heart.  We had a service at church on the new normal for life.  Im still not sure how Im going to like this new normal.  I feel like I have to live like a monk to keep the PVC's down.  Im only 30 and this really *****.

yes ditto to the above ------i dont know why red wine does that.....

I don't think it is recommended to mix alcohol with most prescription drugs. The advice given to me was, don't drink alcohol until you know how the beta-blocker will affect you, and then only drink minimally. I think that's good advice anyhow.

I take the beta-blocker acebutolol at night just before I go to bed (200mg is the smallest dose, and I take half of that). I really believe it helps me to sleep better. Maybe THAT is why I'm having less pvcs? Better sleep.

Such a strange world. Less pvcs but now I'm bothered by them more.

Lagoya, I also found that red wine does a number on my pvcs, even just a glass. :-(

i have found if i drink wine {red} i get more but if i have a few beers not too rushed they are not too bad ,,,if i have too many beers i just don't rem ,,,,i dont drink that much anyway ,,,but if i was out i would have a few ,just to be sane

So how does alcohol and these beta blockers mix?  I love a cocktail or 2 but Ive been afraid to drink since I have been on these meds.

I do love a beer (Becks) and found I can tolerate two but need a gap of two days in between . Cheers!!!
