Well you have had an ecg and most extra beats are completely  harmless. The only way to tone them down is to take a beta blocker or to learn to live with them as many people do some people have them all day every day and whilst they can be uncomfortable they are generally completely benign.

Marsha I agree, beta blockers would be the answer - I know several women who take them. However if they are related to low or high E then I guess you'd be masking the issue rather than fixing it. I'm also suffering from it terribly at the moment so really empathise - it's hard to feel any kind of relaxation or calm when you're so aware of your heart all the time.

Has your period arrived yet? Just wondering if they will ease when it does - will be interesting to see, as if they do it would seem that there is definitely a hormonal link. Have you had a blood test recently to check what your Estrogen level is?

Just wanted to add my bit, I have suffered recently fairly badly with pvcs and what feel like missed beats. I had been checked out years back to be told benign pvc's but they seemed to be getting more frequent and always the urge to cough felt like a tickle in my throat. I decided to try magnesium and at the same time cut back on my glass of wine which i love daily and what a difference, hardly had any in days, dont want to talk too soon, but really hoping for the best. Now to figure out was it low magnesium or the wine that was aggravating them but really do find that they have got a lot less which I hope remains so.
