▲ 4 r/PVCs

Looking for some advice from my fellow PVC havers who are more knowledgeable than me. Every now and then I get periods of frequent PVCs, sometimes resulting in ventricular bigeminy. No other symptoms as far as I can tell besides feeling palpitations. I go weeks without feeling any, then they seem to come back out of nowhere, last a while, then go away.

I’m not sure what’s causing them, I haven’t noticed any lifestyle changes that line up with when I feel them. When I first got them, I thought it might have been dehydration, but I’ve been making consistent effort to stay hydrated. It might be stress, but I’m not going through any more stress than usual.

For reference: I’ve had an echo with results showing no structural issues, a holter conveniently scheduled while I wasn’t feeling any PVCs, and am M20. I deal with acid reflux on occasion, but not often, and not connected to PVC flare-ups. All the research I’ve done suggests my PVCs are likely benign, but I cant help but feel worried whenever they come back. Life has kept me away from following up with a cardiologist, but I know I should since this keeps happening. In the meantime- any ideas on why this might be happening, or similar experiences?

Thank you!
