What are some techniques to stop benign pvc's? ( i don't drink caffeine or smoke.)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough: When you feel them, cough. Get plenty of sleep. Avoid stress if possible. Don't sleep on your left side. It would be useful to check your potassium, magnesium, and thyroid stimulating hormone levels. A 24 hour Holter exam would also be useful to quantitate how many you have. (>10% of total beats needs treatment). Most of the time, benign PVCs will go away over a week or 2. If not, seek help.
