Please check out Dr Berg’s advice on hiatal hernia massage/ manipulation! I’ve been suffering from 8- 14 PVCs for 6 days straight, been to the ER and cardiologist and have cardio tests scheduled and it immediately reduced my racing heart and I’m having about 1 PVC per minute now since I did this 3 hours ago! I forgot I have a hiatal hernia that showed up on a CT scan years ago.

I get all this your explaining thay are absolutely horrible mine r so forceful thay make me feel like I'm about to pass out feels like thsy shake my brain. Thay go away n come back with an absolute vengence you do literally think your going to die it actually makes u feel so depressed n the anxiety is unreal ive been ignored by multiple doctors thay look at you like ur Nutts but it's horrible to live either spesh when your waiting for your heart to just give up its a constant worry ive had these things for 15 years n there getting worse bit nope doctors won't do f all about them.

Have tou considered a PVC ablation? I have them but my burden isnt high enough. My mom unfortu6oa just above 20% ao ahe is acheduled this month for an anlation after suffering for a few years

I fuckin love this thread. I've had these things for a few years now, started when I was 24, am 28 now. Get the occasional ones like you've described, nowhere near the 20% total burden to be considered for ablation or even medication at this point. For me started right toward the end of lockdown when I was working remotely, drinking a ton, and sleeping very badly. Bad conditions for mental health. Got an echo and a monitor done at that point and when I was told that they were benign, I was initially sort of shell-shocked. (What the fuck do you mean they're benign? It feels like someone is shaking a jar of pennies against my ribcage?!) Anyway, when I started working in a restaurant again after lockdown ended, somehow being in that fast-paced, face-to-face environment turned down the volume on my amount of anxiety about my PVCs. I still got them about as much as before, but being around people constantly, running my ass off to get drinks and tacos to people, made them feel more manageable. I could be standing taking an order at a table, feel three hard PVCs in a row, and not even blink. Fast forward, now I'm in my third year of grad school, spending a lot of time alone, a lot of time preparing for public speaking, and the Fear is back. All of this to say, the symptoms are fucking real and anybody who writes me off as making shit up in my head can kick rocks - but also the environment I find myself in seems to have an enormous impact on how I'm able to cope with these. If you can get yourself surrounded by people you dig and who dig you, it may not be a perfect solution but it might be a salve for how fucked up these things feel sometimes. I personally can't wait to be done with grad school and back in a work environment where I feel less alone, where the volume on my Fear gets turned down simply by being around good people. Finding this video and comment thread has done that for me tonight, so thank you Steven and thank you all for making me feel less alone. PVCs can suck on deez 🥜.

I’ll be 80 in a couple of months, and I’ve had PVC’s for as long as I can remember. Years, decades, feels like eons…and I’m still here. Had an episode of A Fib about 9 months ago and was in the hospital for a week. They finally had to shock my heart back into a normal rhythm, and while I was there, they ran every possible test there is on my heart. All I heard was yeah, you have PVC’s, but they’re benign. So here I am, still living with PVC’s day in and day out. I wore a heart monitor for 10 days and it recorded over 50,000 PVC’s, but the cardiologist just didn’t seem concerned. So, I just try not to worry about them and live my life. I actually get some relief with acupressure as taught in Qijong, which you can find here on RUclips. There are some acupressure points in the hands that work well for me; you might give it a try if you haven’t already. Just search Qijong for heart palpitations and you’ll find a bunch of videos.

I had a cardiologist walk into the exam room on an ER follow up he literally walked in said hi or good moring and immediately telling me it wasn't a cardiac event. And on and on chest pain not cardiac. I interrupted him-"did you see the ecg (hr was 38 bpm)" he continued. No exam no discussion so I stood up positioned myself so I could I leave and said "when you pull your head out of your a$$ call me" I reach for the door knobs he continues so I repeat louder as I leave and he follows me down the hallway to the waiting room still trying to convince me so at the main door I turn around so everyone can hear and repeat it again as I leave for the last time.

I feel the same way now. But I remember I used to have these things but they never scare me at all. I have always been healthy in all my lab tests which makes me confident in them not until one day during the pandemic. I passed out in CR after having to pee at 2am. I had very fast heartbeat and 5-10 sec before it happened. Then I found myself woken up by my brother who was shaking me. I asked the doc after a day of that experience then I took the test but all came out normal. I should be confident now but it did not happen. I now scared every time I get a pvc or pacs. Each of these beats just cause paranoia to me after that fainting episode. It just reminds me of that experience. Though my brother had to convince me that that fainting could be just due to stress and skipped meals because my mom was sick that time and both of us were really going through a tought time that time. So that's what he was telling me all the time since we cannot find the cause. Well I haven't had passing out episode since then which is good.. Besides it was not really brought about by a pacs or pvc but by a fast ❤beats that lasted 5-10secs. But ofcourse this pacs or pvc which I notice more now, remind me of that time so when they come on I get scared they might last longer and I pass out again. I still wish I could find out what happened to me before so that I would know how to avoid it so that when these pacs or pcs happen again I would just be thinking that are just that. And nothing more. But I'm getting better now with my anxiety I'm trying to disassociate that faiting episode to this pacs or pvs but the fear factor is slightly still here from time to time...Hope we all get over this things soon.

Hi Steve oliver here, im back! i too suffer from pvcs, i hv gotten much better, since last fall 2023 how u doing these days

While Im watching this video I just took a xanax because my pvcs are so bad tonight, I cant take it!

Going through a bad episode today it’s so reassuring to know this is someone else’s reality ( as much as I wish it wasn’t ) aswell my own , you really took the words out of my mouth with the way you describe it

You need a new doctor!

I'm 49. I've been having PVCs since I was 16. They're so scary when they happen. Every time it happens, I wonder if "this is it" for me. Thankfully, so far, my heart has been able to correct itself and get back in rhythm again. I have noticed some improvement after taking magnesium and CoQ10 on a regular basis. I hope you are well and managing your PVCs. I know how frustrating and scary they can be.

I’ve had PVC’s for so long I can’t even remember not having them. For years and with numerous cardiologist telling me that you’re fine. You aren’t having that many, etc. I finally found a cardiologist that ‘heard me’ and ‘listened to me’. Then he put me on a heart monitor for quite some time..can’t remember may have been 30 days. He did an echocardiogram , nuclear stress test then he sent me to a electrophysiologist who said I had PAC’s, Flutter, AFiB and PVC’s. He ablated all but the PVC’s. He attempted the PVC’s but found that my PVC’s were happening on top of the AV node. And you don’t want to ablate there! You’ll wind up dead or on a pacemaker for life…not the one that kicks in when your heart needs a little help but a constant need for it…so you are wholly dependent on it. I did feel better for quite sometime after the other ablations but it’s quite common for them to start up again. And now mine have. I know I’ll be getting more ablation(s) pretty soon. The PVC’s he’s controlling as best they can with Sotalol. I’m saving the pacemaker option for when I just can’t take it any longer. However it has affected my life I spend many days with no energy to do anything, I’ve cancelled so many lunches with friends, trips etc. because I just can’t. I’m just thankful to be with an excellent cardiologist and electrophysiologist now. I also have an implanted heart loop monitor that uploads overnight every night so that I’m monitored daily.

Did you ever figure out a fix? I just had a heart cath and found out that I had a complete blockage but they weren't worried because my collateral vessels had taken over but they never found a reason for my pvcs. All they said was that it was normal. Had anyone found help?

I'm struggling with this. They can't give meds because my bp is too low. I have fatigue, chest pain, fluttering. It sucks but nothing I can do. Getting echo next week. I feel like half a person. I'm youngish and very fit. Unsure why my body decided to flip out. ❤

hi steve! hw r u now

It is scary when your heart does not beat as expected. People that don't live through it have a hard time understanding this fact. I don't have PVC's but do have arrhythmia issues that I take meds for. I hope that you find a good mixture of meds/treatment that help you and your mental state.

I have been living with SVTs since my 40's the first time I had them I thought I was a goner. I was really scared. I bent over to pick up something and Bang. Im now 62 and have had PVCs for the last few years but really bad last year that sent me to the ER. Ive had all kinds of cardio tests and all were normal. I now take 100mg of metoprolol extended release daily that helps a lot but I still get them but not near as many. What does help me is staying hydrated, walking 40min or more everyday, light weight lifting, getting enough sleep, and a very natural diet. Potassium and Magnesium do make a difference for me. Lots of fruit and plant based food. Stay away from processed stuff as much as possible. My SVTs are pretty much in check thankfully. My PVCs are much more manageable. Stress is a big culprit learn to de-stress your mind. Adrenaline is a big factor for me getting them. Dont let these ruin your life! If you think that way you will just get more of them! Be thankful feel fortunate and live on. 🙏

I have had the EXACT symptoms as you for ten years now. I've been in the ER three times because they were so bad (trigemini) that I could barely breath or walk because I was so weak and dizzy. ER wouldn't do anything other than say "Why are you here? Everybody has these". Bullshit. Not everyone has these and if they did they would be overwhelmed like us here. I've had multiple EKG's (all abnormal), multiple echocardiograms, multiple holter monitors, a nuclear stress test, CT scan and even a heart catheterization. I've been given beta blockers, diltiazem and flecainide all of which made me feel worse! I can no longer take any kind of pharmaceutical because they all cause more PVCs, PACs and SVTs. All is normal according to four different cardiologists and three different electrophysiologists who refuse to ablate me. Even the Mayo clinic refused to see me. The doctor's say stay away from your triggers. Unfortunately, simply breathing is mine. I am 61 and had to retire at 55 due to the inability to perform a desk job because I was/am physically and mentally exhausted. Nearly all of my energy is spent just trying to do simple daily tasks. My life consists of feeling like shit every day and then I can't sleep at night because of the dysrhythmias. Every morning I wake up just as exhausted as I was when I went to bed and get up wondering what's the point. Every day is complete hell and the medical community is worthless (yes you University of Colorado Health and Kaiser Colorado). I know the PVCs/PACs won't kill me but often I wish they would as at least there would be an end to the suffering. I hope you all are doing better than me as these are a bitch to live with.

Dude they suck, I was 14 When I first started having them and I was terrified so many after another and another. No one believed what I was feeling and I was called crazy. I never met anyone with them, I hated hearing the same mf answer. “Your fine” “change diet” “try therapy” “yoga?” And thing is shi didn’t work. During school I’d get them and I couldn’t enjoy my teen years because of them.

I’m probably the most recent comment on here? Anyway yea this sucks I started getting these when I was 15 or 16? I was told I had a heart murmur that was normal to get around that age because it just happens and they go say in there own. It was so fucking bad at that time, I would lay in bed crying in my mom’s arms because I kept having them back to back and there was nothing I could do. At the er I would get told it was just anxiety and that’s it. I stopped having them around 17-21? And then suddenly started up again not as crazy frequent as in my teen years but they were there, and rn I don’t get them often throughout the day but one or two a day SUCKS especially the heavy hitters. Idk anyone else that has this, it’s hard to not think that I’m dying.

I started having PVC's at 23 right after having my first child. I am now 63 yrs old. No drs would do anything for me about the pvc's I understand how scary they are. Try to relax. I can say the more I walked did aerobics and such the better I felt.

I use one of these.

Mine started in my early 20's and I'm almost 64. It's a nightmare for sure. Mine have been bad for a week now for some reason, I don't know how I'm still here. My son is 47 and has them and has been taking one of the medicine that you mentioned in your video. It worked OK for a couple of years but he didn't want to have to take the medicine for the rest of his life. He went on a all meat diet 3 months ago and stopped the medicine and hasn't had a PVC since he started the diet.. I noticed on my pulse oximeter that when I get the bad Pvc's, the back to back ones for a minute that my heart rate drops to 38-40 just for a second and then go back up fast. I just noticed that yesterday. It might have been doing that all my life and I didn't know it until recently, I don't know and I'm worried that it's got real bad and I'll for sure die if these things don't go away 😢.. I know this is a old video and hope you're doing better now.

Bless you I’m suffering so badly with them the massive thuds the weak ones the flutters in throat episodes of nsvt I honestly can’t cope my thoughts are with you ,im sick of these things it’s all I feel ,I’d loose a leg if it meant. It having these xx😢

Hey Stephen, how are you today ?

You are so damn right !!!!!!

You bring it to the point. I also had the word trauma in my head from time to time, but the cardiologist says that everything is okay. How alone can you feel there?

Hello Stephen, I'm Sascha from Hamburg/Germany. I am very grateful for your channel and will probably need some time to understand everything well in terms of content. I've had PVC for 30 years and really bad for a few months. They are ruining my life. A lot of education urgently needs to be provided for this, because you can't live with it. I'll certainly get in touch more often! Regards, Sascha

I get them very badly too. I take Verapamil and seems to reduce the severity of them for me. I can still feel them but they’re not as intense. And so now my anxiety isn’t as bad because they don’t feel so forceful. Where as before I was constantly thinking - is this my last day? Lol.

Hi! i started suffering of unifocal PVCs after covid-19, about 1 month later (mild covid), and like you, they seem to have irregular patterns, meaning, some days are quite calm, few pvcs and some other days are like crazy, like i have a lot in an hour!, i dont know why, im actually a critical care physician and i havent found a pattern, sometimes it looks like its triggered from food, sometime from anxiety, sometimes they dont seem to have a trigger at all!, and like you, i have a normal ECHO... glad to watch your video with your experiencie. thanks!

how many do you have per day? Thank you for sharing Steven.

On metroprolol and diltiazem for my pvcs, keeps them decently in check, still get the occasional cluster or "attack" of them as well as odd ones here and there, in fact had a cluster lf them this morning after walking up the stairs at work, my diet could be much better. I drink lightly caffeinated sodas sometimes, hardly ever have alcohol, and never been a smoker. Notice that it seems certain tight movements or bending over hard can cause one, as well as laying down, a full stomach never seems to help them either. Got diagnosed with a crazy rare autoimmune disease few months back, been on steroids and literally had to have chemotherapy for said disease so I'm sure thats not gonna be doing my heart any favors lol.

Man I just got these 5 months ago and now I’ve been feeling the worst in my entire life; they go away they come back they go away and come back Everyone is like “oh they are fine” no bro my chest and body feels like I’m getting punched 24/7 I hate this 5.5 months of PVCs that occur in 14 day blocks

I have them too they said mine was not bad enough for surgery well how bad do they need to get. most doctors want you to keep coming back so they can collect your insurance money sorry you have to go through all that.

I have tried everything. No smoke, no alcohol, no caffeine. 2 ablations, 18 years of drugs and try this, try that. Nothing works. Some of us are just going to have to cowboy thru it.

So how often do you get these? I get them a few times a year but when I get them it's bad. Like 10 to 20 a minute for weeks! Have you ever had a holter say how many you get in a day?

I have pvcs and what worked for me to make them go away is i take like 1500 mg of magnesium everyday until there gone and they will go away... they come back but not often

I feel ya man. Ive had these since 2010 its now 2014. I usually get these a few times a year but when i do its BAD like 5 to 10 to 20 a minute. For WEEKS!!!! I meditated one time and cried and they went away but that was once. Out of the hundreds of times ive meditated. So annoying.

I was just diagnosed with it today actually with me sometimes it goes for four days in a row and I get one day off but I feel it. I feel my heart pounding. I feel pain I feel the discomfort it’s horrible. It’s unbearable the start of me off medicine then I gotta go do all the monitors again, but this is a nightmare, but it really is.

Going through the exact same thing. Had an ablation in 2014 that worked for a few years and now it's all started over. Tired of being blown off by Dr's.

Years ago I saw a special on TV ( I think it was FRONTLIE ) about an alcoholic that was at rock bottom,tried everything and nothing helped. A doctor prescribed a drug called NALTREXONE. He quit drinking,no side effects , no withdrawals and no desire for alcohol...Maybe ask your doctor about it.

My burden rate was 61% that's roughly 61,000 PVC a day with a 30% ejection Fraction. Had a ablation 4 weeks ago and no more PVCs, amazing. difference in quality of life.👍

Im 27 now, ive had them since november, i take 25mg antenalol mornings. I find it helps through the day but at night they suck. I havent had them for ever but months is enough. Genuinely over them, the fear of it they'll get worse ? Will i be here in a few years ? Yeah they're fucked. How are you dealing with them nowadays

I can totally relate. Everytime I have a bad episode, I think I will die.

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37720406/ 2023 Study - Persistent PVCs cause heart damage.

People who are wondering where are steve?. Why doesn,t he post a new video? Where is he now?. The guy told us before that he does an ablation thus his pvcs are vanish. So the guy is living his life. He doesn't want to remember anything about his pvcs in his past. We ask him about pvcs ,so he doesn't want to talk about it. So in case he moves on in his life and not comming back to post new videos about pvcs. we should wish the guy to be happy and well.

Have you tried talking to your doctor about getting the catheter ablation I’m in line for it omg I can’t stand them they are so scary I’m going nuts here sometimes I just want to lay down and cry

I'm a data person on notion but man...im busy too.

Which multivitamin do you take ?
