Why Do I Experience Premature Ventricular Contractions While Belching And Fluctuating?

Ive had pvcs for years. Ive Done tests such as the halter monitor, ultrasound, ekgs and it seems my heart is fine. I notice that I get pvcs while belching and sometimes while I flatuate. Is there any known corolation between the two? Also I don t have them while doing cardio workouts but don when I weight train.

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are premature heartbeats originating from the ventricles of the heart.
PVCs can occur in young healthy individuals without any heart disease or associated risk factor. Excessive belching can precipitate such contractions as the food pipe lies next to the heart and any dilatation due to gas causes a physical stimulation to the heart.
The only way to avoid these is by preventing the indigestion and controlling gas.
You can use some OTC medications mentioned below to have some relief.
1. Activated charcoal (Charcocaps) , will absorb the excess gas produced.
2. Antacids, such as Di-Gel, Maalox Anti-Gas, and Mylanta Gas, allow gas to be belched away more easily.
3. Food enzymes, such as Beano, which help break down the sugars found in vegetables and grains, can be added to foods that cause you to have gas.
Taking Haloperidol, Reglan, chlor, etc twice daily will also help in relieving your symptoms.
Haloperidol is an antipsychotic but it increases the gut motility and empties stomach earlier avoiding belching.
Doing dietary modifications will help you.

Hope this helps.
Please write back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
