Insufficient Informa: R U sure it was a PVC, not an APC? R U on any other meds? How overweight are U? R U diabetic or Hyper-tensive? Caffeine is & Diet Pills can be a stimulant & cause PVC's. A single PVC does not have much signif. Check your electrolytes, low potassium or Magnesium can cause PVC's or APC's. Consider a Holter when running to make sure Xtra beats are not frequent. Magnes&Potass R easy to supplement.
