Hello all. I'm posting this in hopes that it helps even one person. For years I have had severe anxiety and panic attacks and the PVC's which I assumed had come from the anxiety. After years of skipped beats, runs of PVC's, trips to the emergency room and endless suffering, I went to a random walk in clinic and the Dr asked me if I got alot of heartburn. I do get a lot of heartburn, I have acid reflux. I also used to be bulimic. The Dr said my Vargas nerve was probably irritated. This can cause PVC's. Skeptical, I took the prescript
ion heartburn med, called tecta. I also took an anti depressant for the anxiety, mine was cipralex. 20 mg. within one month, my PVC's stopped. I kept waiting for it to start again, it never did. Once I stopped throwing up and treated my acid reflux properly, the PVC's stopped forever. Here I am two years later, and they have stopped completely. For anyone in a similar situation, please give this a go. It really worked for me. And now I just take a daily antidepressant. My PVC's are a thing of the past. :)

Hi GC!
Thanks so much for the share! I agree that gastro issues have a direct link to PVC's for many people!
Congratulations on finding the answers/treatment you needed...and for adopting healthy changes for yourself and recovery!
Great job, keep up the good work, and may your progress continue.:)
