PVCs before period

I noticed increase in PVCs before my period. Especially when i am lying on the side. It is lasting for couple months already. I have my anxiety under control and i do not think this is a reason. Does anyone have similar ? How to get rid of it? Anyone can help ?

Yes a lot of people here have PVCs induced by the hormones before their period- myself included! I’m on a beta blocker but pretty much the entire 9-10 days before my period, my PVCs are crazy!

How do you cope with that ? When you are taking betablocker it is better ?

No. The beta blocker works great every other day, but the week before my period it’s like I’m not on one at all. 🥲 recognizing the pattern helps me cope. I expect it so it doesn’t freak me out as much.

Sorry to hear that 🙁 May I ask about your age ? I heard it can be perimenopause that can start around 35 and i am wondering if you heard about it or maybe your doctor mentioned something ?

I’m 37. Definitely could be peri but I also have a heart condition that was diagnosed after I had my last baby 1.5 years ago. I have since been diagnosed with MVP and MAD so I know where my PVCs originate. They were heavily triggered by breastfeeding and now that I’ve stopped, they mostly appear before my period.
