[@Mrsangeandbella]

This was a really great presentation! Thank you.

I use to feel all my heart beats, even the normal ones, so I felt the PVC, then the pause, then boom! It was hell. Now, I just feel the boom.

What changed?

[@louistournas120]

@@carbq5280 : I started taking metoprolol and then bisoprolol. bisoprolol is great as it reduces the contractions of the heart.

hi louis, i hope you get well, did you have episodes of light headedness? sensation of lump in the throat or chest? difficulty swallowing saliva or fluids?

[@louistournas120]

@@izzomoses7994 Yes, I had those symptoms and also nausea starting ever morning and more. For me, venlaflaxine helped a LOT. I guess I am sensitive to stress. The bisoprolol helps with the PVC but never trully gets rid of it. I was a mess back then. Now, I am 99% ok.

[@izzomoses7994]

@@louistournas120 happy to hear it, what caused the lump sensation did your doctor tell you? and how often did you have the light headedness?

[@surrealgang]

Short Coupled PVCs is dissapointing. How do i know if i have that? R on T? I thought it only was a problem in ischemia / long qt

[@stefanocampostrini8232]

Indeed! The R on T literature is so confusing

I helped do the CAST trial. There was no doubt that type one drugs all increased mortality 2-3 times the placebo arm.
