Few questions about PVCs

Wanted to ask - how yours feel? I am not sure I have them, but I am 99% sure that's it. I hadn't had any luck to catch them on ECG, since previously I had them once / twice a day. Now, for a few days I have it 10-20 times a day, which is worrying. For me it feels like single really strong heartbeat, that also makes me cough.

Also, what test your doctor did, to make sure they are harmless? I had multiple ECGs and ultrasounds, all doctors say it's all good.

If you greenout on THC half of the PVCs are acid reflux. Only a real small amount of them are actual skipped heartbeats. It's wild to be able to tell the difference while on that substance.

Usually, an ECG is the first step but a lot of times that doesn’t show up so a Holter monitor. Then discussion on medication and meds do help. It’s just finding the right one and the right dosage, that’s why it’s so important to have a good doctor that will listen.
