PVCs are so common they can be considered normal if EKG and Holter OK. Iron studies tell us nothing about anemia. Need Hb or Hct. Benign PVCs most likely Dx as others have suggested to you. Listen to your Drs. Then almost never lie.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your iron studies are within normal limits, but you did not provide your hemoglobin level that would be essential for diagnosis of anemia, Wish you good health!
