I get pvcss and tachycardia. doc said avoid over the counter supplements. does that include vitamin c gummies? i like to have a few during flu season
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pvc's: I don't believe that vit C in recommended daily doses increases heart irritability. Licorice,if its in the gummies, is to be avoided because in heavy doses it elevates blood pressure.
