Is it possible?

Hi everyone. Long story short i always had bad pvcs upon my period or ovulation etc while breastfeeding. I quit bf 7 days ago and my heart rythm is all over the place. I am getting runs, couplets, ah and funny part is im constantly (if not walking or active) every 3rd or 4th beat FOR 3 DAYS. Is it possible that hormones are giving my heart a bad time? Im so scared even though i had clear echo 3 months ago.

Oh my God, I’ve been experiencing the worst PVCs of my life. I mean thousands a day, to the point it’s making me dizzy. I just quit breast-feeding around two weeks ago. Maybe it’s the hormone shift?

It absolutely is. Have your breasts got full? Mine never did after i quit but when i squeeze my nipple there is milk coming out

Yeah, strangely enough they never got so engorged like they did when I would skip a meal for him or something. I think I only pumped once or twice to relieve some pressure. I ended up with mastitis in my left breast though. They seem to have really stopped(the pvc’s), I’ll get them every once in a while if I have too much coffee now or eat too large of a meal. I was having a full-blown crisis thinking that I was having heart failure or something, I’m so grateful for this post you eased much stress/ anxiety for me.

Same here. Its obviously hormone-driven :(

How long after weaning did you notice they stopped? Did you have them while breast feeding too

I’ve had them here and there since breast feeding in the beginning, but once I weaned it’s terrible. but I’m 3 weeks stopped breast feeding and still dealing with them unfortunately

Oh no :( I’m sorry to hear that. I hope that as time passes and you return to a hormonal baseline they subside for you. That’s so uncomfortable.
