Hi everyone!! It's been a while because I've been doing pretty well. I hope everyone is doing ok!

Tonight though, I'm having lots of PVCs, more than I've had in a looooonnnngg time. It's really freaking me out. I'm afraid something is really wrong. Or, that it is an indicator that something has just gotten worse. I can't even relax, it is really scaring me.

Why would I just start having a ton tonight when I haven't had hardly any in ages??

HI MG, there you are...we missed you! ;)

Sorry you are back for this reason however...pvc's can be miserable, and hard to ignore!

For me a lot of times is is gastro related. Did you eat anything that may have irritated your stomach? Something acidic, spicy...maybe a bigger meal than usual, or you ate later in the day? Alcohol, chocolate, caffeine can all be culprits!

Maybe taking a PPI or OTC stomach med like Tums or Maalox might help.

I hope that you can also use some coping skills to help you manage the anxiety related with this issue. We have that good physical symptom meditation video in our Resources...

Wishing you the best, and don't be a stranger.:)

Dear Gigiii! We missed you <3

I am so glad that things are going well for you and you are feeling well :D

As S.C. and Larry said it can be because of anything. Remember you were coping very well and you will be overcoming them soon again :)
Take deep breathes and keep on feeling well.

SC, Larry and Inci- thank you, as always, my friends!! Miss you all too! <3

SC- I did have a big meal (steak and lobster ;) and some beer, so I bet that was the cause...oh, and some dark chocolate. Although, I have had a big meal and beer before and not had a bunch of PVCs.

It was just weird, I was sitting at my computer when, flip, flip, flip. A whole bunch in a short time. It was really unusual and not good at all for my anxiety.

I just had this same thing happen the other day! I used my coping skills ( and sadly medicine half the time because my coping skills weren't working at all ), I hope they've gone away!
