Welcome to CurePVCs...
I have been a long-time sufferer of PVCs and recently had my first bout of what has been described as SVT, so we are similar except my underlying issue was PVCs and SVT came later rather than the other way around. But is no doubt still related to the same underling causes.
A few years ago, I thought I had all but cured my PVCs which I firmly believe was the result of improved diet, fitness and addressing my heartburn; heartburn which was the result of insufficient acid not too much (I know this sounds like a paradox, but it has become a known issue especially as we get older).
This brings me to my first question and one that I ask almost everyone... Do you suffer with heartburn or other gastric problem?
The reason I ask is for many sufferers, arrhythmias and gastric anomalies seem to go hand-in-hand. Furthermore I previously managed to suppress my PVCs with the use of Apple Cider Vinegar as a result of what I believe to be malabsorption of electrolytes. It’s quite a long story, so rather than me re-writing all about it here, if you haven’t already take a look at My Story here.
I agree that paying another $5k is just another procedure that could well leave you none the wiser and the worry of parting with so much money could be counterproductive anyway.
When I managed to suppress my PVCs before, it took some time before I achieved the results so I think half the battle is giving things time to work.
I know you said you had blood-work done and it all came back normal, but one thing someone posted recently which was of interest is that blood tests may well indicate no imbalances, but just because the blood is okay, doesn’t mean the body’s muscle and tissue have the right balance. For example, if you take magnesium supplements, it may temporarily correct any imbalance in the blood, but it could be weeks before the rest of the body’s tissues balance out.
The post I was referring to is here, so please take a look as I found it quite an interesting post.
If you haven’t already, and are interested, take a look at here, specifically 2006 onwards which is when I discovered the secret behind Apple Cider Vinegar.
Best wishes
