Suggest Treatment For Premature Ventricular Contractions

I have PVC s and IC. My doctor prescribed Mybertiq. Only one pill caused a severe migraine and a large increase of PVC s. I stopped the drug and I m still having an increase number of PVC s. When should I expect the number to go back to my normal amount?

Cardiologist, Dr. Priyank Mody 's Response

Hello, I am Dr Mody and I would be addressing your concern.
You must have been started on mybertiq for incontinence. However it's an anti cholinergic drug, which is known to increase heart rate, pvc 's blood pressure and may precipitate headache.
There would be two alternative
1) discuss with your doctor about taking an alternative drug, as mybertiq is not the best option for you.
2) if no other medication, consider taking small dose of beta blocker, propranolol. Which will take care of both the extra pvc and offer prophylaxis against migraine , and will be an ideal medication for you.
