Are PVCs a Cause for Concern?

I've been experiencing PVC's a lot more frequently, should I be worried?

They are scary but if verified they are pvc's they keep telling me they are harmless. Ask for a halter monitor from your doctor. They had me on one for two weeks to assess the frequency. I had a low percentage and was told nothing to worry about. I think mine are stress related because I have greatly reduced my frequency of having them in the last few months with treating my stress and anxiety. I've pretty much have had every test done and am deemed low risk for any cardiac issues. They really stink and feel like hell , but I think unless they are constant, they are ok and can be treated

Ps. I've read of other issues that can cause these , so I would get a blood workup too. Thyroid issues is one think I've read about.

It depends on the cause. I suffered from frequent PVC's from low potassium, iron, and ferritin. I also get PVC's due to gastric related issues like reflux. PVC's are not generally something to worry about, but always pay attention to your body. Only you know what is going on inside your body or if something feels off. It is always worth a check just to be safe.

I forgot to mention I also had close to no Magnesium in my system, and was low on all trace minerals. I always think that getting your vitamin levels checked should be one of the first things to look for. Good luck!!! ❤️
