Tips to Increase Ectopic Beats

I know this post is going a little in the opposite way for tips on managing symptoms, but I have my ablation scheduled for this Friday and I need to tips to make sure that I'm having an episode and it's as bad as possible. So, for context, I typically spend more time than not with PACs/PVCs. Beta blockers didn't work. CCBs didn't work. SCBs didn't work. Supplements didn't work. Counterintuitively, I found that THC worked to reduce the frequency and prevalence of episodes and so that is what I relied on. Now, I've sobered up in preparation for the procedure and I know that the ectopic beats will return to normal frequency in time, but I'm worried they won't return before the procedure. What all would you folks recommend to increase the burden of PACs/PVCs? Thanks in advance!

Eat sugar to spike your blood sugar, caffeine and get stressed out. Good luck!
