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 was diagnosed with MVP and PVC's after having severe anxiety attacks. My cardiologist wasn't very helpful and told me, "it's not a big deal and to just get over it, that I would be fine." I'm still worried that my heart will just stop so I'm to scared
