Probably not : Although magnesium deficiency may exacerbate the problem, the propensity to have skipped beats is innate. As long as your heart is normal by echo, your ECG is otherwise normal, you are not excessively bothered by the pvcs, your doctor is correct - you have nothing to worry about.

I jog 30km a week. 6 months after running, I started experiencing PVCs. Only felt a few in my life prior. Two cardiologists have cleared me OK with monitoring and lab work. Did I harm or scar my heart from running too much too quickly from the start?
