Changes in diet have been the biggest influence though. Reply Guest over a year ago Hi everybody, Its true Alan, both of these are good for people with PACs and PVCs. So the conclusion for you would be that both of these are really effective for people with PACs and PVCs. Better sleep has also been crucial, and moderate daily exercise helps as well. Supplementation of taurine has been shown to protect the heart and help maintain a normal heart rhythm. So reduction in stress hormones has reduced the frequency of the extra beats. I’ve found that PTSD has created abnormal stress hormone release, which was contributing to my extra beats as well. I avoid MSG related ingredients as much as possible, but it’s hidden under a lot of different names on food labels, so taurine helps the body get rid of it. Taurine has heart beat regulating affects, and can counteract MSG. Getting more taurine in my diet, either through food or supplementation, has done good things as well. As my nutrition has improved, my body is doing better overall, and I have noticed a significant reduction in ectopics over the last several months. I found that I am highly sensitive to MSG, lack of enough potassium, drinking any alcohol, and perimenopausal/hormonal changes are things things that affect the frequency of the beats as well. I’ve taken much greater care to look into all aspects of my diet including vitamins, minerals, and eliminating processed foods and unnatural ingredients as much as possible. It was confirmed that I was having hundreds to thousands of extra heart beats per day, but I was given the clear that my heart is structurally normal, so I was able to worry a little bit less and adjust to them (some days better than others). I had my cardiologist perform some more thorough testing including an echocardiogram and Holter monitor. The research, published Monday in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, built upon earlier studies suggesting vitamin K2 supplements could slow the progression of aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. Magnesium helped tremendously to reduce them for about 3 years, and then they came back with a vengeance almost a year ago. I’ve had my ectopics for about 4 years, mostly PVCs.
