Can female hormones cause PVCs (premature ventricular contractions)? I have started having them and they come around ovulation and period. I am 35 years old, do not take birth control pills, do not drink or smoke, and do not have hyperthyroidism. I have gained weight over the last 4 years but do not have hypothyroidism either. I switched to half decaf coffee and do not drink soda. I notice PVCs around ovulation and period and can have one or 20 a day. No pain or shortness of breath and they ease up after my period. I also get a lot of heartburn around my cycle.

I have Zenker's Diverticulum. I sometimes choke when swallowing pills or water, which is very frightening. I had one surgery but it couldn't be completed due to risks. I have a pacemaker, a small stent, and have had ablations for rapid heartbeats. One doctor suggests another operation, but my internist disagrees. What can I do to prevent choking?

I have been feeling very weak for a week now, with unstable legs when getting out of bed and a desire to stay in bed. I have been in bed for two days and am not sick with a cold or flu. This weakness sometimes lasts for several weeks. I recently exerted myself working around the house for a couple of weeks. I was tested for Epstein Barr virus, which may be the problem. Additionally, my back upper throat area and ears are aching. What could be causing these symptoms and what tests should I consider?
