A member asked:

Ill go months without a single (that i feel) ectopic beat but then theyll come back for weeks at a time and ill have days like the last 2 where i get them all day, minutes apart. the ones closer together usually still have a few beats in between?

You may need a rhythm monitoring, a loop recorder is preferred because the ectopic beat does not happen all the time. Besides, a routine electrolyte and thyroid panel should be done if you have not had them done in the past. You should stay off drinks which can exacerbate the ectopic beats such as coffee, energy drinks or alcohol.

It's always a mystery why PAC's,for example, occur on some days but not others when meds,caffeine or alcohol intake, stress & anxiety levels don't really change from day to day. Perhaps changes or imbalances in sodium,potassium,magnesium,calcium at the extracellular or intracellular level are causing the extrasystoles. Have your levels checked & consider taking some magnesium glycinate,200mg daily
