Benign arrhythmias: Pvcs & tachycardias (<110) are common depending on your hx, age, and the recordings ( more specifics about the tachycardia and how often ( more then 5 PVC per min.)intervention may or may not be required. Worst escenario... Get a second opinion to review what has been done. Most anti arrhythmics are pro arrhythmics so drs try to avoid them. Drs. May consider beta blockers x u.
