I am 19 years old. I believe strongly in Natural Health and Cures.

Just recently I was hospitalized for premature ventricular contractions and vasodepressor syncope. While i was in the ER talking w/ the Dr. My heart stopped twice, and once more when he left. The placed me in the Hospital for about 4 days monitoing my heart. They gave me a IV w/ just saline solition (sodium chloride .4 or .04%) and when i first got there potassium suppliment. No other meds (thank goodness). While I was in there i got to watch what my heart was doing, they showed me what a pvc looked like. I was having them every other beat most of the time. If it wasn't every other beat then it was every third beat. I know normal for people as long as it not more than 10 per minute. I am slightly scared. There was mention of a pacemaker. I eat as close to vegan as I can. No caffine, chocolate, or soda's. I have low tolerence for Sugar so I don't go excessive on it. I work out reguarly. I am confused on what I can do. I know I don't have heart structural damage due to the ultrasound they did while in the hospital. I get dizzy spells and blackouts regularly. I do have low blood pressure, which i have seen to be side effects of the pvc's which then seems to prolly cause the vasodepressor syncope (When you stand up bp drops. Then vessels contract to regulate. Mine doesn't do that. So my heart speeds up. Then brain slows it down b/c it is overworking and I pass out.) I have been told to increase salt intake to increase my bp. This seems to but just trying to cure the symptom not the problem.
