Verapamil 240mg and pvc's - Heart Disorders Message Board

So, if you read my thread from before, i have frequent pvc's. my doctor gave me a higher dosage of my verapamil, upto 240mg. it seems to be working, during the day i'll barely have any pvcs, but during the night time they return while im in bed, prolly cause my HR is slowing down. also, if i were to take a nap, it seems they would also return then, other than that, durring a normal active day they are gone. anyone else have an experiance like this?

i have mildly high bp, my doc told me to watch out for it. but its good tho cause my pvc's would be 6-12 every minute, now they are 1-2 every 5-10 minutes.....big big decrease

its still frequent during night time, maybe cause my heart slows down as i relax, but maybe i should give it more than 4 days on the new meds to kick in
