I've been surfing sites and postings like this for about 3 years, finding people with the same symptoms. Doctors don't seem to be very on top of PVCs and PACs caused by stomach issues. Nonetheless, I think my gastro-e has fixed mine. After all the usual heart testing, couple of emergency room visits, adrenalectomy to cure pheochromocytoma, I finally got a colonoscopy. I was diagnosed with IBS and put on 10mg Amitriptyline at bedtime. MIRACLE CURE for the heart symptoms - they have been gone since the first dose, 3 weeks now. It's amazing how well this stuff works, it's cheap, and low risk - talk to your doc about it. Hopefully this will be of value to others. I'm off to post this elsewhere now! Good luck.

Thankyou aechef! I just wanted to add some more things to help!
1. Calcium with Vitamin D, Potassium and Magnesium!
2. Melatonin
3. CoQ10
4. Omegas 3/6/9
5. Folic Acid
Along with Amitriptyline - which is the same thing as eating Turkey!!!! ;-) The above suplements have proven to lower stress, increase the function of the heart and help with ALL organs and structures
I just wanted to say personally! That about 5 years ago I was taken by ambulance for my "heart" racing ALL over the place! This happened constantly! So eventually I saw a cardiologist and he told me that we all have 2 aortas - 1 in the heart, and 1 in the stomach! So when your stomach is acting up, it cause your stomach aorta to give you the same "fribulation" as your heart, but you think it's your heart that's doing it! Just and FYI

I also had pcvs for years. After an ekg, halter monitor and echocardiogram I was told the only thing that could be done was to give me beta blockers. My cardiologist said that I would have to take so much that I would barely be able to function. He said most people choose to just live with the pvcs. I was having up to 12 per minute and felt horrible. A nurse practitioner had heard somewhere of amitriptyline being used to treat them. The first dose I took was like a miracle. Most doctors do not believe that amitriptyline can help pvcs. I have trouble convincing them. If anyone out there with pvcs reads this, try amitriptyline. It gave me my life back.
