Any reason why brief (1-2 seconds) chest pain simultaneous with a pvc only happens during exercise, not at rest? does this suggest a cardiac problem?

Catecholamines: Exercise increases hormones like adrenaline which in turn can stimulate irritability and PVC 's. A fitness program and a visit to your doctor will help
