Noticed today that even 10mins (or less) of very easy ab. work trigger skipped or extra beats pvc's . should i not exercise at all then? scary feeling

Evaluation: The vast majority of people with your symptoms have benign extra-systoles (often atrial, sometimes ventricular). You need at least 1 evaluation with ekg, echo, chest x-ray, blood work, and possibly a prolonged monitoring test (24 hours to 30 days). You don't list anti-depressants, but if you use one, that should be considered too.

What could cause frequent pvc's? For the past year, I have dealt with more of them and sometimes wake up to a fluttering sensation. One time I woke up to feeling dizzy and passed out. I've been on verapamil to help with symptoms. Blood work is normal?
