Ive been getting PVCs after exercise occasionally over the last week or so.
I made an appointment with the PA at my cardiologist office this morning to bring this up.

She told me its totally normal and common and is a sign of them being benign. But older studies I've read online have me freaked out still.

I believe her, she's great at what she does and i know with it being a cardiologist office they wont just blow me off when i bring a concern up.

I just cant shake feeling like i shouldn't exercise, but im 320lbs and 27 years old so i NEED to do this

Does anyone else have recovery PVCs?

Yep, all the time.

After exercise, at rest, while the heart rate goes down, the levels of Adrenaline in your body remain higher for a period of time. This period often permits the extra beats and palpitations to come back and sometimes their frequency and rate are higher than before the exercise. Heart palpitations after exercise, when not accompanied by other symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, loss of consciousness, usually are completely benign and there is no reason to be worried about.

I’m 26 years old, 6’ tall, 180 lbs, exercise all the time. I’ve had occasional PVCS and PACS since I was about 17 or 18. The most I would have was a few per day. This past Christmas I was running on the treadmill and started feeling several PVCS per minute during recovery. When I would eat or take a shower, I would have as many as one per every 8-10 normal beats. Went to my GP a few days later still having them, he felt them, said not to worry and sent me to get a 48 hour holter. I had almost 800 recorded PVCS and PACS, all singles. Heart doc said nothing to worry about. I continued having them constantly, occasionally worse, until a few weeks ago. I have had maybe one since then. The only thing I’ve done differently since that time is cut back a little on how much running I do. I continued lifting weights the whole time. Just wanted to share my experience.
