... and so it begins... the bug has begun!😎😎😎
With having pvcs everyday all day is your heart rate slightly elevated walking around like 100-115? Mine went away for quite a while and then just started back up again and I hate it. Also does it give you headaches throughout the day?
Thanks for the comment - no i would say my walking around heart rate is between 90-100. And yes I have experienced that as well, they go away for a bit but then come back...some say they will go away for years and come back randomly. I just pray and am thankful for the relief. They dont give me headaches, whenever I get one I am usually dehydrated.
@ have you ever had your pvcs make you go into any type of tachycardia even for a few minutes? Mine seem to be doing that to me. It’ll go way up into the 160’s or 170’s and then go back down to like 100-135 then go away after a few minutes
I put an hour/tachometer on my 2000. Can kinda tell about how long it’ll run by rpm once you is it enough
Just bought one for 100$
Sorry for MY rambling on, but some people don't even know they have them. My Mom did, but only found out at the doctor. If I couldn't feel these f**kin' things it wouldn't bother me, and would be getting on with my life and doing what I did before these started. I don't mind listening to you ramble on. I need to hear somebody who knows what it's like.
My Dad said he never heard of them. Must be nice not to suffer from it.
I was told they ARE seasonal. It sounds stupid, but I get less in the winter.
Mine started after taking an anti-seizure medication called Topamax in 2017. After it started to work, I started feeling bad, and started getting them. After quitting the med, it never went away. I read other tutorials on that med that said never use it. They've ended up in the hospital from that med, and stay away from it. Well I didn't know about it. I have bad reactions to a lot of meds, especially with anxiety and depression meds.
My burden is less than 1% per day. They can't do an ablation for me. It won't work.
I can't get over the anxiety of them either. I've read books, watched videos about how to calm yourself with these......Still worthless. I can't even go anywhere, anymore. I more or less glued to my recliner all day and try not to have to go out as much as possible. These are bullshit and ruin your life, depending on the person, I guess. Some don't let it bother them. I can't do that. Yes I've had a lot of bad thoughts with these as well. It's almost not worth it anymore, because I'm always told "I can't do anything for you." 2nd opinion too.
So sorry to hear that. I have also been struggling with pvcs for 14 years, they've stopped me doing so much.
That's what happens to me too. Nothing until after you start moving around, and there they go. My Electrophysiologist said try cutting out caffeine and I bet they slow down. Huh ! Wrong-O. I just gave up. Nothing works, not even meds. I've tried them all and all the supplements too. It's a worthless cause for mine. Get them worse after I eat, but it says online there's no proof of that. Bullshit.....Yes it does.
I always come back to your videos. It's good to know i'm not alone in this. Mine started in 2021 when I was 22. I had them every day for 17 months straight until I got control of them with medication. I still get them frequently, but not as many. I see my cardiologist every 2 months, but I also have wpw. I'm not sure they'll ever go away completely, but they don't scare me anymore.
Thank you for sharing and know that you arent alone! Yes, may get some relief but the sooner we make peace that they may never go away and not be scared by them the better. Thankfully mine have subsided greatly still today but I expect any day they could be back, cold weather is upon us and I dont think that helps!
I'm looking at these for my camper. If I hooked it up to the camper's main power supply, (30 amp 3-prong plug), and only powered a couple 12volt lights, the 12volt fridge, and to keep the 12volt battery charged, would this be able to handle that? My concern is any voltage drop from the thick, long camper's cable.
Funny enough, that’s exactly what I’ve been doing with it this summer. Need to do another update, have way more hours on it now. I have a 20FT travel trailer, just got the plug adapter and do exactly as you asked. The main fridge, water pump, charge up the deep cycle marine battery and a few lights and it does it no problem. I have an outdoor fridge too and when I pop that on the generator does like it so just run the bigger indoor fridge.
@@gwheel3502 do you hook it to your main power cable with the adapter?
@@mastersergeant8672I plug a 12 gauge extension cord into the generator then plug the adapter onto that and then the main RV power plug into the other end of the adapter. The adapter doesn’t fit well connecting right to the generator hence using the extension cord….this way I can keep the generator further away as well so all works out. Here is the adapter: a.co/d/gdr5my6
@@gwheel3502 I'm on it.
Hey, remember me i hv improved my pvcs, since last fall 2023 im much better now! 2024 is been good better then last 2 years u been doing ok
Glad to hear they have improved! Yes mine have gotten better and praying it stays that way! All the best to you
i still get them, in fact they started to coem back last few weeks, but not not nearly as bad as a year ago!
Is this sleepingbag as wide as a 25” sleepingmat or as a 30” wide sleepingmat? Im thinking about buying this sleepingbag and roll it up as a bedroll with a sleepingmat and thats why i would like to know how wide it is. Great video by the way.
Your video was the first one I watched months ago when I first starting having pvcs. You put me at ease back then explaining things. And your right. Try not to worry about them! As long as heart is healthy we will be ok. Thanks again . Good luck!
Thanks for your comment and yes, think positively! Hope all is well with you and all the best!
Did any of your cardiologists mention anything about the long-term clinical implications of 'too many' PAC/PVCs i.e. the effect of the ectopic load on the heart and the brain? It seems a high PAC load can be a forerunner of atrial fibrillation and stroke while a high PVC burden can adversely affect the left ventricular ejection fraction, eventually precipitating heart failure.
No they didn't mention anything, but I have read a decent amount into that and many of the studies I read said you are no more apt to get A-Fib with a high PAC count then any other person without them. The cardiologists only mentioned that prolonged PACs (10,15,20 years of them at the rate I was at) would require more frequent echocardiograms or even heart caths to be sure everything with the heart was looking good.
@@gwheel3502 Heartfelt thanks for your response. I am a fellow sufferer who also happens to be a primary care physician. All the best from Calcutta, India!
@@dr.amitabhamukherjee3601 All the best to you and thank you for being a PCP! Please do share how you are doing, we are in this together!
Do you think your PVCs are abolished by exercise (cardio e.g. running or jogging) or worsened? Did you ever get an exercise stress test (TMT) to see if there were exercise-induced PVCs, particularly in the 'recovery' phase? I am a sixty-one year old PCP with some PVCs (under 1%) on my Holter monitor. Thanks.
Exercise made them go away, never got any when I had an elevated heart rate and yes I did have a stress test done. None in the recovery phase either. Thank you for the comment and all the best to you! Thanks for all you do as a PCP.
Hey! I can totally relate to what you’re going through with the PVCs. After my second Pfizer shot, I started experiencing them too. At first, they weren’t too frequent, but as time went on and I started freaking out, dealing with panic, and more stress, they became worse. Over the last two years, I’ve tried beta blockers, but they only made things worse by lowering my heart rate too much. I also tried magnesium, diet changes, and various stress relief strategies, but nothing seemed to really help. Six months ago, I had my third 24-hour Holter monitor, which showed around 15,000 PVCs. My doctor then suggested an ablation to fix the issue, emphasizing that suppression isn’t the same as correcting the problem. Tomorrow, I’m going to the hospital to stay overnight and get prepped for the PVC burden ablation the day after. It’s been a rough journey, but hearing others’ experiences like yours makes me feel less alone. Thanks for sharing your story
Thank you so much for sharing! Though unfortunate, it is comforting to know others are out there with the same issue. Praying for a stress free, successful and quick ablation for you. Please do let me know your experience after you have recovered.
@@gwheel3502 “Hey everyone, just wanted to give you an update on my catheter ablation for PVCs. Unfortunately, the procedure was unsuccessful. It took about three hours, but they couldn’t fully ablate the spots causing the PVCs due to the high risk of complications like a stroke or heart attack. At first, they tried with local anesthesia, which was really painful, so they switched to full anesthesia after a few minutes. When I woke up, they informed me that despite their best efforts, they couldn’t completely resolve the issue. The PVCs are still there, but thankfully, the procedure didn’t make things worse or cause any new arrhythmias. I’m now in recovery for the next two months. It’s a bit of a mixed feeling knowing that the issue is still present, but I’m relieved that nothing more serious happened. I’ll keep monitoring things and see how it goes from here. Thanks for all the support and well wishes.”
Hi there Details of the Catheter Ablation Procedure I Underwent: The procedure started with the administration of local anesthesia on the right side under the skin. During the resting phase, a normal sinus rhythm (SR) was observed, accompanied by ventricular bigeminy, isolated ventricular extrasystoles (VES), left bundle branch block (LBB) morphology, an inferior axis, and a transition in lead V4, with a small R wave in leads V1-V3. Sedation was achieved using Propofol, Dormicum, and Fentanyl. Mapping of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) was performed with the help of the CARTO-3 system. The activation map showed slightly early activation in the septal RVOT. In the region of the right coronary cusp (RCC)/non-coronary cusp (NCC) junction, the earliest activation was detected (~35 milliseconds early). Ablation was performed here (40W, cooled, for 60 seconds), which immediately terminated the clinical VES. However, shortly after the ablation, VES reappeared at the same location. A remap again showed early activation at the same spot. A subsequent ablation with three additional radiofrequency pulses (50W) temporarily suppressed the VES. The remap once again showed early activation at the same spot in the RCC. As no better position was found, and because a significant amount of energy had already been delivered to that area, it was decided not to perform any further ablation. An Angio-Seal closure device was applied, and a pressure bandage was placed on the right groin.
@@AliAlibrahim-v8n Wow, thank you for sharing, interesting and very detailed. So, forgive for not understanding, but from what I read they found the spot that's causing the PVCs but were unable to stop it from continuing? Even after "ablating" it twice? If thats that case I am so sorry to hear that but curious what the doctors plan is going forward?
@@gwheel3502 Hey there! Yes, you’re absolutely right. They had to apply the ablation three times in the same spot. Since the area was close to veins or arteries, they couldn’t use the “hot mapping” technique. Instead, they used “cold mapping,” which is less risky in sensitive areas. Cold mapping works by freezing the tissue to pinpoint the exact location of the abnormal electrical pathways in the heart without damaging nearby structures. After that, the doctors decided to proceed, and thankfully, I haven’t had any complications since the procedure. I was monitored overnight and then went home. Interestingly, my PVCs have changed behavior-they’ve become less frequent. I didn’t notice any symptoms for several hours, and although they returned at night, they were less intense. From the moment I woke up until now, I haven’t felt any issues, so things seem to be improving. They’ve planned a follow-up in two months with a 24-hour Holter monitor, along with blood tests in ten days, and another appointment in December at the “Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinic”. I’m hopeful about the future, and it’s encouraging to see some positive changes already.
I scooped fish out of the water at the waterfall near there as a little kid.
Wow, you could be me! Just found your videos. I am a 48 year old male from the Uk. 4 years ago I started to get PVCS about 1% burden at first. Now I am at 6 to 11% Burden and get runs where they occur every 4 beats. Couplets triplets etc. I rarely have days without now and I used to get months. As the years go on for me they destroyed my life. I am sceduled for a cardia ablation on 21st August as I just cant live with them. I hope you get some relief as I totally understand what this is like.....
Thank you for sharing! Yes we are very similar, all the best to you with the ablation!
I'm hoping to find where access to the valves is. I'm working on one that is used every weekend for a neighbor, and it is past time to adjust them. All I can find is reviews and unboxings. I saw "Long Term Review" and was hoping that you really meant long term. Thanks for the video. Have a great day!
Gotta take the entire cover off to adjust valves.
@@gwheel3502 You aren't kidding, either. Then you have to bend the heat shield out somewhat. I got it done but don't really want to do it again. Getting everything back in place was even harder than taking it apart.
@@gwheel3502 You aren't kidding! And it was harder to put back together than it was to take apart.
Have you tried Flecainide.
I have not, it was offered by my EP but not recommended for me with just PACs.
That was the first thing they put me on and it made them worse, so I quit it
.. That's heavy, man.. sorry you have these struggles in your life
Glad you have gotten a month of relief so far
La nina 2024/5 😱🥶
Lol, that would be very depressing! Just an old vid I didnt realize I hadnt posted haha
Let the cat out...
Any updates? Did your burden go down with cutting out dairy? I just binge watched your videos and I can’t be left hanging! Please update!
Sorry to leave you hanging! I will do an update next week....Dairy free (like a few other things I tried) seem to help for a month or two but then back to 8-10K PACs a day, not sure if its placebo or what.....right now Im on a good few weeks, seem to be a lot less. Not sure if its the warm weather, being outside barefoot, higher salt diet or just plain ole less stressed but I am very thankful for the good days I have. All the best to you!
@@gwheel3502 Glad to hear it! Mine all started after I had Covid last July (2023). I ended up with PVCs and PACs along with occasional bouts of SVT. Fun times. I’d love to watch your update. I’ve always felt like I could make videos about this topic too. They are so helpful and anxiety-reducing. Dr Gupta’s videos are great too. Thank you!
How are you doing today? did this no-milk diet help ?
Helped for a little while, maybe a few months but I think it was all placebo. I started back eating *some* dairy and doesnt seem to make it worse at all.
@@gwheel3502 i am currently reading about the vagus nerve and adrenaline. do you take beta blockers ?
How are you doing today? did this no-milk diet help ?
Do I have to pay attention to processed milk for finished products? It's clear with cheese and things like that.
thank you so much for your content!! i struggle with pvt since 30 years.
Wow, 30 years! It’s stories like yours and you sharing that help this community and give hope that we can live long fulfilled lives even with these terrible things. Would love to hear more of your story!
@@gwheel3502 yes, Definitely. These heart issues are still far too much classified in the department of anxiety by the doctors.
i have 7000 and it feels like 14000. greetings from germany / hamburg
Thank you for sharing, we are in this together. How long have you been dealing with them?
Thank you for the details
Mine like yours were at rest. Sitting watching TV or sleeping I really noticed. Mine was every other 2 or 3 beats, what my crazy heart felt like doing at the time. I tried magnesium and didn't help. I had read that low potassium could cause pvcs, I was sceptical as mine wasn't that low but gave it a shot, bananas, peanuts etc, and mine stopped within 2 days. When I say stopped, it stopped the regular irregularity and now just get the odd spurt every hour or 2. I was surprised but it worked for me. Everyone is different and may work for you.
Thank you for sharing!
I've had PVC's for over a year. No symptoms except complete annoyance and anger from them. Ablation was offered to me. I said no. Meds were an option and I said no, but Monday I'm meeting with cardiologist about meds. I'm 100% against meds, but I'm desperate for some relief. These ruin my sleep every day.
Thank you for sharing, did you have a Holter Monitor done to see how many you are having a day? I am with you, Ablation to me is last option....I have seen 4 cardiologists now (yes 4) and all said not to do ablation unless my percentage I get per day goes up OR they become lifestyle altering (other than annoying and occasionally scary) You mention they ruin your sleep, are you only getting them while you lay down? I didnt have any luck with Medication, metoprolol did nothing for me, I think they even made them worse! Ha! All the best to you
hi do get ectopic when yu run ?
I do not, only when at rest. When I am up walking around or exercising I do not get the PACs at all. How about you?
@@gwheel3502 I get when I wal but when i run i dont get .. since when you have these and how many in a day ?
@@malikarif278 I get between 7000-14000 a day depending on the day, How about you?
@@gwheel3502 my from 2k to 3k daily.. so what your Dr said ? and since when you have this pvcs ? are you taking any supplyment or medication ?
@@malikarif278 thank you for sharing. Doctor said just keep living life, they don’t recommend surgery. I did take metoprolol but it didn’t help, tried all kinds of supplements like magnesium and potassium but they didn’t help either. I may give magnesium a try again though. How about you?
I hope it’s still slowing down brother! Im glad you learned about dairy free!
Still seems about the same, now I go through good weeks and bad. But the good days outnumber the bad so I am very thankful!
Ive had a 24 hour holter before and they said i had about 5000 a day so i feel ya man. Is this everyday of your life or they come and go? Mine last weeks to a month but i get it a few times a year.
Thank you for sharing! It definitely was everyday but now I feel like I'll have a good couple weeks than a few bad days where its 1 every 3 to 4 beats. Just had Cardiology appointments and met with a new cardiologist who has just as many ectopics as I do, ha! Only he has PVCs, was very reassuring and I thoroughly thanked him and god for the visit. Best doc appt I've had for the PACs.
Ive had these damn things since 2010. Ive actually called dr gupta before. Im glad i came across your video. So when you wore a holter moitor how many did it say that you had? I get them a few times a year but when i get them they are worrysome too. Like 5 to 10 to 20 a minute for weeks to a month. I just shake my head at people that say they get like 100 a day when i get that in just a few minutes. Its very scary i understand my friend. I wouldnt get an obligation either. Im also a vet. I think we just carry around a lot of grief. Best of luck to you brother. I just woke up to my heart doing the cha cha and saw your video. Thabks for sharing.
Thank you again for sharing! wow, almost 15 years you've been dealing with them. I hate that you've had to suffer this long but its reassuring knowing that many people have had them just as long as you and been totally fine. My first Holter I had like 12K and my second Holter in 2023 I had 8K so an improvement, I will definitely take it! Stay in touch and all the best to you my brother!
Gotta do what you gotta do to get that warm air circulating
Did your pvc start about 6 months after moderna covid shots?
More like a year after, I definitely think the moderna shots played a part as these are becoming more common.
Do you happen to have the links how to tak side cover off? Cant find it
Looks beautiful, wonder whst state? How are your pvcs my friend? I hope better. Im 54 have had them for 4 years, they can cause lots of anxiety. Hope you do a update. Be well!
Sress has gotten me a diagnosis of A-FIB, but on EKG I saw my heart rate only jumping from 91 to 113 back and forth so I`m wondering if I`ve been misdiagnosed. I use ashwagandha for stress. It`s cheap and safe and the only thing I notice is I just don`t worry. about stuff as much. I don`t want thinners. I`ve been taking baby aspirin Equate 81s .4 at night makes me sleep well. I`m constantly watching my heart rate and it never shows above 95.
I have one in 410
I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting one of these for my homemade truck bed camper/cabin it would only power a TV DVD player, a single light,a heater, if I’m not using the wood stove, and charging my RC car batteries when we are out at the campsite
Definitely a perfect option for that, I need to do an update to this video as I have far more hours on it now. Still been great, 0 issues.
Is that a scx10 or a trx4 i see in the background?😂.
lol good eye! It’s the RedCat Everest, my first RC…lots of fun!
Seems like once you get these they’re for life unless a procedure is done. Covid certainly brought mine on. I had en for 8 months straight. They went away for 2 months out of nowhere. Then I got the flu and they are back. No diet change in the 2 months I didn’t have em so that’s not it for me. Definitely some kind of super hyper inflammatory response.
Yes I agree, tried many things and have been able to reduce them but not rid them. I am very hesitant at this point to have an ablation but things could change. Funny, recently got COVID and they went away for a few days! Back now of course…all the best to you
@@gwheel3502 I’m so sorry to hear that man. I just got this comment. You tube is terrible on comment notifications. Glad you responded. But so sorry about Covid. Hope you’re better again!
My pcvs 3 % ,, 3370 beat/24 hours 😢😢
You ran at 8 hours. Dude I'm living in a motorhome and I've been using mine roughly 8,000 hours. I believe the valve just went on it. It makes an air sound coming out of it from the muffler
