I was afraid to do anything. Afraid to eat, afraid to workout, afraid to walk up stairs, afraid to go to work. Then one day I told myself that this is no way to live. They were impossible to ignore since I felt each and every one. However, I had the ability to make the decision to either let them control my life or not. So I chose the latter. Not sure how to really explain this other than I got mentally tougher. From that day on (about 4 years ago) I didn't let them dictate my life. Good call on not taking the beta blocker. I did take one for about 6 months and they did absolutely nothing for me. When mine were really bad (thousands per day) I started drinking a lot of coconut water as I too had a low potassium level. Most of the time this would eliminate of reduce them temporarily. Also, doing cardio for about a half hour was something that would help them. Recently, I have eliminated all processed foods and sugar from my diet and have not had any pvcs to speak of. Long story short, you can drive yourself crazy trying to find a cause/cure. Hope this helped a little bit. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'd be happy to help. |
