My doctor diagnosed extra sytoles about 18 years ago.
After all this time I still get them, maybe more than then, but can't be sure, most days anyway.
I'm not particularly worried about them as I think they are quite common (could be wrong though).
What are they? dodgy or not? and are there any foods that can make them worse?
Anybody else get them?

Another question, am I on my way out?

IIRC Caffiene and Alcohol are a no no...

not a Doc, however. Just info from family member related stuff...

Yes, only 1 cup of coffee a day, but like to guzzle loads on a Saturday.

Edited to add: Lager that is.
