Seen Quite commonly: This is quite commonly seen with PVCs. If an underlying heart problem is not present, it is not a cause for worry. Exercise may help suppress them in most cases. If the problem ienterferes with normal life activities, your Doctor may need to prescribe a medication, generally a Bete Blocker .
