Is exercising with premature ventricular contractions safe?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have PVC (premature ventricular contractions) and bigeminy. I have undergone tests, and I do not have any structural heart problems. Are alcohol and exercise harmful in the case of PVC and bigeminy? Additionally, is it absolutely safe to exercise if I experience PVC and bigeminy during and after exercise? I take Levothyroxine, but my TSH levels are under control.

Please advise.

Answered by Dr. Sagar Ramesh Makode

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Exercise is safe as long as you do not have any structural heart disease. Just monitor whether PVC (premature ventricular contractions) increases after exercise. Alcohol tends to increase PVC and bigeminy, so you should avoid it. Additionally, smoking, drug abuse, and caffeine should be avoided. Keep checking your TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels; they should not be too low, as excessive thyroxine can also cause this.

I hope this helps you.

Please reach out if you have any doubts.
