What Causes Recurrent Premature Ventricular Contractions And Rapid Heart Rate?
I ve had Pvcs off and on for over 40 years, mild mitral valve prolapse...have been symptom free for many months but noticing more and some rapid pulse runs, none more than a minute or so after taking protonix for acid reflex this past month. Side affects listed says fast and abnormal heartbeat are possible. Wondering if it is coincidence with my history or caused by the new pill.

Hello,
* According to my surgical experience, there seems discrepancy in the conduction system of the heart at either SA node, AV node or bundle of His Purkinje system.
Which can be an isolated entity or triggered by some drug change.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
