MAGNESIUM: Check your magnesium levels.if low start taking magnesium tablets.if overweight,lose weight.drink lot of water.eat lot of fruits and fresh veg.why are u on ASPIRIN at age of 31?? if you have anxiety disorder as you are taking klonopin, (clonazepam)then it can be a cause too.how do you know that you are having PVCs/PACs? did you get a holter study done?If not,get one done.

Proven, or felt?: Twitching of the intercostal muscles(muscles between the ribs)can feel like an irregular heart beat;if early beats (PACs or PVCs) were not seen on EKG or heart monitor,then a 24hour Holter monitor should record any that occur (mark down times)& look for signs of many beats in a row(SVT = supraventricular tachycardia). Decongestants,electrolytes,thyroid or lung disease can cause, sometimes all OK.
