| twalsh29User Since: Sep 2012Posts: 3 | Hello everyone. I have been suffering from PVCs for 12 years now, I guess. I started having them at 23, and now I am 35. For about 6 or 7 years though, I did not have much trouble with them except when I laid in certain positions. Recently they have flared up to be so annoying that they sent me to the emergency room, and I got the same story as everyone else. "They are benign, so stop wasting my time".
My recent medical history is as such. Between 2 and 1.5 years ago I was suffering from C Diff infection in my colon. It was terrible. Far worse that any arythmia. I finally was cured of that after about 1.5 years of expesive anti-biotics. Since then I was diagnosed with milk allergy, IBS, and hiatal hernia. There has never been any mention of GERD or heartburn.
So I have been having digestive issues since then, and so after reading some of the posts here, I am a little encouraged. Maybe thats the key. Solve one and get 2 birds with 1 stone. It is just that lately I get the PVCs one after another. Like 1 PVC every 3 to 6 seconds for an hour. My doc only counted 17 in one hour with the holter monitor, and he waved that off as benign, but I wonder if he would say the same seeing them as frequent as they are happening now. How much is too much? |
