Well....: PVCs are usually benign particularly in young people with no identifiable cause. If they account for more than 20% of your heartbeats over months or years it can lead to weakening of the heart muscle. Yes, being sick can make them more frequent. Stay hydrated. Sport drinks are good.

Pvc's: Not all premature ventricular complexes are serious, but it takes a cardiac auscultation,24 hour Holter monitor and an echocardiogram,and an ekg to be sure. PVC's are made more frequent by caffeine,alcohol,chocolate,tobacco and stress, over active thyroid or other stimulants. A cardiologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you.
