Jet Lag and PVC?

Guest · Posted: Fri May 20, 2005 10:01 pm Post subject: Jet Lag and PVC?

Hello All,

I recently returned back to seattle from a vacation trip to Hawaii. The
next morning when I returned I began to experience my heart "skipping"
beats throughout the day. After the 3rd day, the PVCs occurred maybe 10
every 10mins and some parts of the day I wouldn't experience them at
all.

I went to the doctor on the 3rd day to get a checkup and nothing came
up as abnormal. My EKG was perfect and he couldn't hear anything
strange with my heart. He suggested that it might be the difference in
time zones due to the jet lag. Has anyone ever heard or experienced
this with travelling? It's been amost a week since i've returned and
I'm still experience PVCs throughout the day.

thanks!

I never drink caffinated drinks.
Don't smoke.
Don't drink alcohol.
Somewhat physically active.
No medications and no diseases.
