Re: PVCs just don't stop, feel like I'm losing my life to them
For starters, every single person that has ever lived has had PVCs...or at least they are extremely common. The difference is that most people don't focus on them in the slightest bit...except for those of us with anxiety problems. Then it is a viscous cycle because one of the main agonist that cause PVCs is adrenaline! Ugh!
I have a couple of things - the traditional palpitation/PVCs that one feels in their chest that I get when under high stress or anxiety/panic. Then, I have this other thing that my primary doc says is PVCs also, but their location is strange. I get these strong flutters/spasms in the "pit" of my stomach. You know, the area that is about 2 inches below where your sternum? They cause instant high anxiety and I can even sometimes feel them in my throat. I can go months without them, then randomly one happens and I continue to have them for a long time. With me, I feel them most of the time when standing up straight and not moving. Once I am walking or moving or sitting or laying I don't feel them any longer. I hate these things! Not 100% sure they are PVC's but I trust my doc so I am going to go with that.
I do have IBS and bloating and gas, etc. and while many in the medical community dismiss any thought they are related, there are SO MANY people who have the same issues and correlate it with digestive issues from lack or imbalance of the good bacteria in the gut, to magnesium or potassium deficiency. My doc said that the bloating and GERD could irritate the vagus nerve, causing it to twinge and cause the PVCs'. Still "harmless" according to him but they still make me nervous. Do you have any digestive issues, GERD, IBS, bloating, etc?
Also, since you mentioned posture and the vagus nerve is a cranial nerve, perhaps a chiropractic visit might help as well. (I actually didn't think of that till now and I might try it myself!) Couldn't hurt in any event.
