A member asked:

Some weeks no pvcs at all. other weeks feels like constant pvcs. don't drink and no caffeine. why is this? so inconsistent.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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 .
