Detail:
Where I stand currently on 1/4/15 - I am still getting frequent PVCs, as often as every few beats to one every few minutes, occurring more often when my heart rate is higher (light or heavy exercise). Also oddly enough they seem to occur often n the morning when I wake up, not sure how they are occurring in my sleep. Overall my heart rate is higher than normal. I know this because in the past (before PVCs) I have been trying to achieve a better resting heart rate by doing more cardio (measuring with iPhone App) and had been successful. But now, having these PVCs throws off the reading and my heart rate doesn't get as low as it used to. The PVCs themselves don't bother me terribly. I don't really feel them unless I am at rest, or focusing on them. My bigger concern is if these PVCs are truly "benign". Its kind of hard to accept that an irregular heartbeat is truly harmless, especially in the long run. If the PVCs are messing with my resting heart rate, my heart is working harder than it should, so how can they truly be harmless?
Thanks for taking the time to read my story. I would certainly appreciate any thoughts or comments! I will post an update this week when I get my results from the Holter Monitor.
