Anything that causes stimulation of the heart can cause PVCs including Allergic Reactions, Caffeine, Cigarette Smoke, excess Carbohydrates or Sugar in the Diet, the side effects from medications and/or Supplements, hormonal changes in the body, etc.

The bed is one of the worst places for Allergies, so typically most people see increases in their PVCs after getting into bed.

During those times when the heart is not working effectively, it is not unusual to experience problems such as you have, and then after that, when the heart is working better, the symptoms usually get milder or go away.

The PVCs could be symptoms of something serious, or just as simple as a heart being irritated.

The Holter basically keeps track of heart rate and rhythm over 24 hours. The evaluation of your Holter is highly dependent on the experience of your doctor and how well he is trained in reading Holter results. If it were me, I would ask him for a complete evaluation of the Holter and what is means for me. What does it show? Are there any serious heart rhythm problems at any time? Is the heart doing OK most of the time?

Sorry to hear about your husband. I hope that he is doing fairly well.

Regardless of the exact problems with your heart, there are options available which can help you, such as being on a very healthy, low calorie, small meal, balanced quality diet; and avoiding heart irritants such as tobacco, caffeine, excessive calories; and including some exercise in one's day, such as moderately walking 30 minutes each day.

Best of luck to you and your husband!
