I’ve got premature ventricular contractions which basically means that every once in a while, my heart goes early and then there’s a longer pause.

Being aware of my heart beats basically gave me panic attacks which makes the pvcs worse, which makes my anxiety worse and so on.

I had to work at not noticing my heartbeat, per my cardiologists advice.

I listen to french house or chilled out trance when I'm writing code. I didn't read the article, but I definitely notice that rhythmic lock-in that comes with doing that. My guys give me shit about it sometimes because I guess I like to rock my shoulders to the music, I don't ever notice it but they call it "catjamming". Rhythm is a constant in all organic life, I think it plays a very strong role in all of our psych…

Would love some recommendations of things I can find on Youtube. I listen to Youtube Red often while working. Anything I can get there would be great. Thanks!

I have the same issue. My favorite part is the sleepless nights: PVC -> anxiety about PVC -> can't sleep -> extra anxiety about missing sleep -> panic attack.

Anecdotally, daily calcium and magnesium supplements seem to reduce the frequency.

Not dub, more rhythmic ambient. You can watch them as they twist the knobs too...

I see a lot of discussion here regarding the influence of listening to music but I am also curious about the influence of rhythmic training. This year I added rhythmic training as a warm up to all of my piano students lessons. I've been using an old staple 'Stick Control' (link below) to train the most basic LH/RH coordination and beat perception and have been amazed at the improvement across the board including myself since I work on this with them. I would compare the improved LH/RH coordination with improved conceptualization of a beat to a rising tide that lifts the ships of the beginner, the prodigy, the professional and the senior citizen student.

Potassium can also help. Sadly, caffeine is a major contributor to PVCs for me and I miss it.
