Hi. So happy to find this site. Have had all the tests and caths etc. PVC's. benign. Go home relax. Over the past few years they are so much more increased. Now it's daily. Had back surgery Monday the 8th. Was taking the steroid pack and my heart was sooooo noisy. My nerves are shot. Could steroids make them act up? Thanks. Anybody here from the Phila/SJ area?

I took steroids for my asthma before my HA, my cardiologist said no steroids of any type from that point on.

I don't know if it will help you or not but my cardiologist told me that steroids definitely cause PVCs and many other side effects! An emergency room physician and my family physician both told me NO they do not cause palpitations...I believe my cardiologist!
