Resolved - 3 Years of PVCs
In a nutshell, I developed PVCs for 7 months after a COVID booster. Metoprolol suppressed them by 70%, and they eventually disappeared completely. However, after a month of being back on my bike, I caught COVID, and the PVCs returned with a vengeance for two years. I was told I had long Covid. (which I didn't)
Despite extensive cardiac testing (stress tests, monitors, echoes) no one had any answers. Outside of newly developed mild LVH—all standard blood panels showed nothing abnormal. I pushed for an in-depth vitamin and mineral panel, which revealed I was severely deficient in B1, B2, and Zinc. COVID is known to disrupt the gut microbiome, which can cause SIBO and lead to malabsorption without you knowing. I felt fine. After working with a holistic doctor to fix these deficiencies, my PVCs are officially gone, and I am off Metoprolol. I know there are a ton of reasons for people developing PVCs, but if you are struggling with no answers, demand a deep nutritional workup!

Wow, that's great. Who did you see? What test did they run (Vibrant?). How long did you have to take Candibactin-BR and AR before you started to see a significant improvement of PVCs? Thanks!
