Peter HUser Since: Nov 2017Posts: 12 | Hi Alishacori. Sorry to hear about your issue. Your doing medication I haven't done and you get PVCs during exercise, which does not happen for me, but I get PVCs similar to how you describe. Mine were a lot worse a six months ago, but I've learned how to "game the system" to reduce them to a minimum, which has given my life back. As a medical professional you can probably appreciate the effect of a healthy diet on physical well being, and that was the key to my success, along with taking magnesium supplements. Below is what I recommend, but I am not a doctor.
You are 5'7" and 200lbs, so that means you are overweight. You should weigh 160lbs.
Eliminate flour, oats, and grain and all flour oat and grain products. Also cut way down on dairy products. Way down. eliminating flour helped for me.
Don't over-eat. Stay hungry.
Get ahold of your gut. Attacking the problem like a gut problem was very effective for me. Eat a little bit of fermented food in the morning (kimchi, a shot of apple cider vinegar, etc) in order to prep your gut for the rest of the day. Get probiotic.
Reduce alcohol and caffeine.
Drink more water.
The kind of magnesium supplement you take matters. Some are worthless, even when they claim to be of the same type. You have to experiment. Douglas Laboratories 400 (100mg mag taurate) is the only pill that worked for me. I tried switching to a 400mg mag taurate pill, thinking more mag taurate would be better, but it didn't work. I take two 100mg pills in the morning, and then one for lunch and one for dinner.
My cardiologist, who is utterly useless, prescribed metroprolol. I have never taken a single pill. However, I DO NOT GET PVCs when I exercise.
Good luck. |
