I am wondering what is considered a "few" PAC's per day, and what is considered a large number? I range from about 10 to 50/day depending on nothing very obvious. I take the same amount of magnesium glycinate each day (~800 mg elemental) so that doesn't seem to be a factor for me. It is sometimes related to stress but not always. I think one of Hans' surveys once asked how many PAC's we had per hour (or minute ?), but I don't remember the results. I also wonder if some of you vary as much as I do and what you think that's due to. Thanks.

On another post I think you said you have had an ablation. Would you mind posting where and when and who, why it wasn't successful, or was it partially successful.

I have anywhere from 0/min to 5 or 6/min, then maybe nothing for a few hours. I probably have 30 to 200 per day, along with some short bursts of 8 or 10 seconds of afib. When I have sustained afib (once every 2 to 3 weeks) it starts out at about 140 BPM and gradually over 6 to 12 hours slows down and then converts. I take Atenalol 50 mg every evening and Lanoxin .25 mg every morning. I have to blame myself for some of it as I still drink 2 or 3 cups of Java every morning and have an occasional glass of wine.

PS I really can't tell PAC's from PVC's and know that I have both.]]> Pam AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 02 Nov 2003 11:14:28 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,1310,1336#msg-1336 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,1310,1336#msg-1336
Although you have AF I don't think you can realy complain being approx 142 years old .

I've never really figured out if I'm vagal, adrenergic or mixed because my 16 episodes were between 5pm and 1 am with 3 exceptions at noon, 6am and 8am. None of the 16 were while I was asleep or even lying down (and probably not while sitting either). None of them were during excercise either, so you see why they are hard to categorize.

At least your last episodes were 'nice' and short! SOunds like GOOD progress to me.... Are you on any meds?? Did they occur at night??

Funny this. Years ago - 1897-1995 (and pre-AF) - any Holters I had for ectopics ALWAYS showed PVCs ONLY. Now, any Holters show PACs ONLY. Go figure indeed.

Before my ablation, I would have anywhere from 0 to too many to count
per day. It would depend on what I ate. For me it was to stay clear of MSG, sodium phosphates and nitrates.

I hated Pac's more than AF, I guess since I had them much more and
when i was having them could not sleep on my left side at all.
