premature ventricular contractions (PVC)

[georgebanks]

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced these??

I have them from time to time but only when I'm on gear. I only use very small amounts of test and deca...

I know run 125mg test e year round.

When I first went to the doctor about this he told me they are not dangerous and to just cough and drink water to get rid of them. That did not work

I was experiencing these on average of once a week... so i went back to the doctor and this time they prescribed me beta- blockers. They have worked pretty well I have had only 3 episodes in the last 6 months.

this is going to sound strange but it seems these episodes are only triggered after wild intense sex with my wife.

I have the most intense workouts, and I'm a cardio freak, but this has never triggered an episode.

I'm trying to get a better understanding of these... why they happen.... what can I do during an episode? My doctors cant seem to really tell me exactly why they happen... other than my heart is confused and starts firing off extra beats, when i go from intense physical activity to nothing.

anybody else??

Did you tell your doc about your steroid usage?

Did you tell your doc about your steroid usage?

yes... they dont seem to think 125mg of test per week would cause that

[Bossman]

What tests did they do to determine it was PVC?

And, you need to give us complete details of the intense wild sex for members to fully understand your problem

I have the exact same issue, but much worse. Went to the doctor and they put a halter monitor on me for 24 hrs. Had 296 episodes in 24hrs. I know scary right? Going tomorrow for ultrasound to find out more. Seems even when I could not feel the skip/rapid beat they were/are still occuring. I only have done one cycle, sus 250 at 2cc's a week for 10 weeks. Ran pct properly, ate properly, don't smoke, drink, etc.
Noticed towards the end of the cycle is when I really started to notice the symptoms. Been off now 13weeks and symptoms haven't gotten any better. The gear I did was legit, researched and lifted for years before my first time, verified batch numbers, etc.
Could this short of a cycle possibly make a hidden issue come to the surface? Anyone else have any insight?

if your heart has an irregular beat it's most likely due to a malfunctioning pacemaker. your sa node or AV mode is misfiring

??? I didnt see that he has a pacemaker?

[RogerB17]

it's a natural pacemaker not an artificial pacemaker. we all have pacemakers in our hearts otherwise they would not beat. your sinoatrial node sends an electric signal to the atrialventricular node to left and right bundle branches to purkinje fibers. it's basic anatomy of the heart.

pvc's are usually the result of serum electyrolyte imbalance or of irritation to the ventricle. Your diet, exercise regimen, or lifestyle might be facillitating an electrolyte imbalance. Potassium, calcium, magnesium are instrumental in polarization and repolarization of cardiac cells. To little or to high of serum levels of electrolytes can cause dysfunction in your cardiac cells response to fire and recover thus affecting the hearts rhythm. One manifestation can be a pre ventricular contraction. Genetic abnormalities in the heart can also be a source of irritation but are rare. PVC's sometimes warn of an unhealthy trend and sn increase in frequency can potentially turn to more dangerous rhythms. I would ask your doc for a 12 lead ECG where he puts stickers and some wires on your chest and assess your baseline rhythm..if nothing shows he can put a 24 hour halter monitor on you..a portable monitor that records a days worth of data. In addition, ask him to check your serum chemistries to look for electrolyte imbalance. IF you are unhappy with his efforts, ask for a cardiologist opinion.
