A member asked:
I'm 23, i started having pvc's pac's ectopic beats later in life & they are on and off, does this mean i have something structurally wrong with heart?

Great question: Usually not, but you should be checked for that. An echocardiogram, EKG, chest x-ray and physical exam should do the trick!
