Can Dehydration Cause Premature Ventricular Contractions?
Question: Can dehydration cause PVC's. I go in the hot spa every night for 30 minutes. Have been doing it for 30 years. I lose 5 pounds a night and do not drink water in the spa. I now have PVC's. Can dehydration cause PVC's? If so what should I do?
Brief Answer:
They can be caused by dehydration
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Both dehydration and hot spa can cause PVCs.
I would advise you to drink much water, use meal rich in potassium and magnesium.
Do not go to hot spa for some time
if PVCs don't go away you will need to increase Toprol dose.
Hope this helps
Wishing you good health
