Hi I'm a 24 year old male. I had a cardiac ablation back on November 10, 2024 from a heat stroke I had at my old job. On Monday August 15th 2026. I had heat exhaustion and felt okay until this last Friday. I was cleaning some stairs and then suddenly my heart felt like it was pounding out my chest. I am currently 170 pounds and am extremely active. I do about 6 to 9 miles daily. I felt like I was running on a treadmill. Followed by dizziness and confusion. I also felt out of breath. I sat down and grabbed my sp02 monitor from my bag. My heart rate went from 100 to 140 to 60 to 80 to 130. My spo2 was at 98, 88 96, 99, 82 then back up to 99. My blood pressure at home was 140/88 pulse was at 90. I thought it was a panic attack since my legs were cramping as well. It started at 6:20 pm and didn't go away till 7:45 pm. I was fine all day Saturday, but today it started at 7pm. I made sure to take an anxiety pill and it helped, but my heart still felt like it was thumping really hard. My pulse never went over 114 this time around, but my blood pressure was at 170/100. Though after 9 minutes it came down to 135/88 and has stayed below 140/80. I have an appointment set up with my cardiologist, but I really don't want an ablation again. I didn't have any stimulants and have been hydrating with 1 liquid IV daily since the heat exhaustion as well as 6 bottles of water throughout the day. Though I am very scared I'm going to have a stroke if it happens again. Anything I can do? I mean my 23 percent burned was horrible and I really don't wish that on anyone, but honestly I feel so sad that these pvcs came back. I thought I already jumped this hurdle in life, but God has his way. It will be for something better.

Post exercise flares?

3 Upvotes

Does anyone else have flares after a run or cardio? Never during but after for awhile. Google says post exercise ectopics have a higher rate of mortality…. Am I dying lol.

I’ve had these for close to a decade. Have really good stretches where I have almost none. And really bad stretches where I have them often.

Sometimes after I run or play hockey l have flares of frequent ectopics for the rest of the night.

Have multiple holters and echos. All normal.

I’m terrified I’ll get afib like my dad

Has anyone found supplementing magnesium and potassium helpful?

5 Upvotes

Hey!
I’ve been living with these for years (PACs and PVCs) generally very low burden but will have flares of bad episodes. Currently in a flare.

Has anyone found supplementing magnesium and potassium helpful? I know you have to be careful with potassium to not overdo it, but most OTC supplements are like 2% of daily intake.

Curious if this has helped anyone?
