Does anyone with benign PVC’s have low potassium. I just started getting these a few months ago and now they are out of control. Had a stress test that showed them but no heart disease. I am getting an Echo today so hopefully Ill find out more but I already know what the answer is going to be.

I am tired of asking why and getting upset. Now I want answers and maybe we could help each other since the docs don’t really seem to know what is going on. When I asked for Potassium results from my blood work over the past few years my levels are never above 4 and have been as low as 3. My doctor said that this didn’t matter but I don’t agree. I agree that these wont kill me but I don’t agree that they are normal. There has to be something off at a cellular level of the heart to be doing this to so many people.

Emedicine health says that if your potassium levels are below 3.5 then that is to low and can cause or amplify PVC’s so did the ER doc. Ive had weird health issues along with my heart over the past 3 years that no one has been able to figure out. Im wondering if it could have been low Potassium/Magnesium all along. A year ago I was put on Magnesium to help with my issues and it did. Magnesium can affect the heart like Potassium.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone knew this info. I know we need doctors but sometimes its good to do your own research as well.
