I have not mentioned my PVC's for a few days. They are still there, but I have ignored the extra beats. I still wear my heart monitor during exercise. The PVC's seem to be fewer and I seem to be able to get my heart rate up to around 110 before they appear on the monitor.
Found this website discussing PVC's:
Premature Ventricular Complexes - PVC's
As the article points out, PVC's are common in about 1 in 20 people. After surgery is when I first experience the PVC's during my cardiac rehab. For almost a year, my doctors have been treating my PVC's with medicines. So far, I have seen some improvement.
My main concerns are a run of PVC's. As the article points out: "Some people have episodes of several PVC's in a row. If there are more than three PVC's in a row, the episode is called, non-sustaines ventricular tackycardia (NSVT)." These can be dangerous.
