I currently get about 20k pvcs a day but they are mainly triggered when my heart rate is low, basically while at rest. why is that?

Cardiologist: Pvc's may be benign or serious and deserve an evaluation by a cardiologist who will order appropriate tests such as ekg, outpatient holter monitoring, stress test and echocardiogram. If no structural heart disease or high grade ventricular irritability is found, your pvc's are considered benign and no specific antiarrythmic medications may be recommended-especially heart slowing ones. No nicotine

PVC's are frequently: heart rate related. Their intrinsic rate is superseded by your normal rate when you exercise. We do not treat them unless there are runs or dizziness
