What Causes PVCs In Patient With Pulmonary Emboli?
I had a mirena iud inserted in august of 2009 and had it removed this past september thinking it is causing my severe pvc's, I have had pulmonary emboli due to birth control pills, however I do have a vena cava filter and have been on coumadin for years..could I possibly have a clot?
The question is how much PVCs?.... PVCs upto 5 are non significant.... They may be in a normal person.. But try to ruleout electrolytes imbalance ( most common cause of PVCs) ... Do a CBC and Renal function tests... Even anemia can cause PVCs.. If PVCs are more than 5... Then u can start on low dose beta blockers
