In your case it is likely that these are benign mildly frequent PVC's which require no treatment or further investigation if they aren't multiform, occurring in couplets,triplets runs or eventually are 10% of total beats in 24 hours. I'd limit caffeine& alcohol intake. If they're symptomatic, beta blockers can suppress them. An electrophysiologist cardiologist could evaluate & advise you further.

I had my heart checked out thoroughly under a cardiologist with stress echo, 48 hour halter monitor and blood tests etc. I woke up during night with lightheadedness and felt like I was about to pass out. Pulse weaker than usual. What may cause that?

I feel a bit confused. My cardiologist had me do 48 hour halter monitor, blood tests stress echocardiogram, resting echo and ECGs. He said my heart was fine. Would this mean it would be very unlikely that I have CAD?

Echo, X-ray, blood work, stress test all normal. Will take CCBs for the PVCs but worried about lowering heart rate at rest (avg rest rate 53).

Ive had Echo, stress test, multiple holters as well as full bloods done. Have had lots of pvcs for years. Been recently having multi focal pvcs and couplets. Is this normal? Considering i have a structurally normal heart?
