4 months ago I got terrible PVCs, 10,000-20,000 per day, totally out of the blue, never had them before. Thought I was gonna drop dead at any moment. I'm 31, active healthy male and went to emergency where they told me what they were and to ignore them or take a beta blocker.
I wasn't to keen to take medication for something the doctor said was harmless but uncomfortable, so I did some reading and found a lot of people having success with magnesium. So I took 3 tablets of 100mg of magnesium citrate per day and within a few days the PVCs went down in their intensity dramatically (ie. the pounds were not so hard) but they were still there and would flair up from time to time. It also caused stomach problems as citrate often does, so I looked into other options. I switched to magnesium glycinate, which is better absorbed and does not cause stomach problems. My PVCs amount and intensity went down again, but were still there and would flair up throughout the day.
Then I read about taurine. Two weeks ago I started taking 1000mg powder of taurine 3 times a day and within a day the PVCs were almost completely gone. After two weeks there is no sign of them anymore. Current supplementation of 1000mg of taurine 3 times per day and 120mg tablets of magnesium glycinate 3 times per day seems to work for me.
I'm no doctor so I can't recommend taurine supplement amounts, and one should always consult with their doctor. But for me, taurine and magnesium glycinate together have worked wonders, it's amazing to just feel normal again. Would highly recommend giving taurine a shot if you've been ok'd to try it by your doctor. Magnesium taurate (Magnesium bound to taurine) is also apparently supposed to be really good, haven't tried it yet though. For now I'm simply happy to have something that works. |
