Postpartum complication?
Hi everyone! I’m a 30yf who gave birth to my first baby last June. I’ve had ventricular ectopy episodes in the past, had a holter a few times but nothing every further. While I was pregnant I felt great! 7 weeks after birth (had a hemorrhage of 1.5 L and very low ferritin and hemoglobin as a result, but otherwise uneventful if any of that matters) I started having episodes of what I assume(?) is bigeminy and trigeminy based on reading other accounts of what it feels like.
I went to the hospital, they had me on telemetry for a few hours and noted a lot of PVC activity but clear ECGs, bloodwork was fine other than a bit of low iron and slightly low potassium. I have not had an echo or any other testing done since then.
Long story short, the PVCs have been relentless since that 7 week mark when they started suddenly. Every day I get them, when before I would only have them here and there. Is this a common occurrence after birth? I’m hoping they will go away as my body returns to normal, perhaps after I’m done breastfeeding and actually getting sleep again?
Just looking to see if there’s anything I can do now to help myself as they are quite uncomfortable and cause me some anxiety. Thanks!
