Cardiac ep confirmed i have pvcs. i seem to get them while i eat and right after i eat for about an hour. why could that be?

PVC's: When the stomach is somewhat distended or stimulated by a meal, cardiac arrhythmias like extrasystoles or premature complexes,atrial or ventricular, are not uncommon. Stimulation of the vagus nerve probably plays a role by changing your underlying heart rate making extrasystoles more apt to occur. Your EP cardiologist can better answer your question.
