Do PVCs momentarily increase blood pressure?

I'm occasionally waking up at night to a few ker-Thump feelings in my chest. If I do anything, even roll over, they stop so I can't get a stethoscope and listen. If they're PVCs it would make sense that a slight increase in heart rate would stop them. I ask about the blood pressure because I can actually hear an increase in blood pressure thanks to ear surgery a while back. With every ker-Thump beat I hear a difference in BP.

    If it's diet, then not usually. But if it's the regular kind, then yes. Usually if you look at the nutritional info on the side, it will tell you many carbs and sugars are in the product. If it's over thirteen and your blood sugars aren't low, I wouldn't suggest consuming the product. Also, just some info for the answerers above, diabetes is more about blood sugar than blood pressure. There is a difference.

    You are like me too observant. I believe if you increase your Potassium (V-8 juice) and your Magnesium (Citrate from the vitamin store) you'll be disturbed less.
