It has been about 3 weeks since my last echo-stress test & I am still exercising & experiencing PVC's. I try to walk every day(mix in a 30 second jog if I feel frisky) and my Polar Heart Monitor indicates PVC's when I get my heart rate around 95-100. I noticed during my stress test, they popped up around a heart rate of 85, a few, then some regular bigeminy. Like I said earlier, they stopped the test at 129, because I was have 3 in a row & that is where the nurses are told to stop. My goal rate is 139 for my age - 58.
So, I try to exercise at a rate of 90-100, and if my monitor starts to beep, I back down to around 90. What I feel is like my heart cannot go any faster. I explain to people it is like having bad gasoline in the car, when you hit 60-70 mph the car starts to hesitate. That is what my PVC's feel like. Found an interesting article on causes of PVC's - What causes PVC's
Many causes and I am still looking for mine!!!
