I have PVC's and I'm ultra sensitive to medication. Twice I've been in the ER with tachycardia (150+) due to medication. Not once did one doctor listen to me that it was the meds. One time I signed out against med advice, the other was counteracted by Ativan.

As a follow up my doc ordered an angiogram which came out that my arteries were in beautiful shape.
Wow. Your story shows us that only is it not always bad but that diabetes doesn't necessarily mean we are doomed to heart disease.
