If your cardiologist is saying your heart is ok, increase in PVCs could be due to stress, among other things. Be sure to hydrate and see if stress reduction helps. Be sure your electrolytes are ok as well as your blood count. If you have an electrolyte issue (like potassium) or anemia, that could increase PVCs. Good luck!
