Re: Irregular Heartbeats

I had the same problem starting in the first month of pregnancy back in September. What really helped me about 70-80% was taking a prenatal vitamin pill; it really decreased the incidence of the heart pvc's (premature ventricular contractions) within about 4-5 days after starting the prenatal vitamin pill. Then I went to see an obstetrician and she prescribed for me an extra 5mg of folic acid per day-this also has helped. I also heard that pvc's can be caused by a deficiency of magnesium or potassium. I still occasionally notice the pvc's but my condition is much milder than before. I hope this helps you.
