Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] While having my blood pressure checked last time I was at the doctors, she noticed my heart s skipping a beat every 6 or 7 beats, so they did an EKG right there; apparently I ve (suddenly, it seems) developed PVCs. I m 60, but in good health; I jog, eat right, have no history of any heart stuff. She said it could be problematic, and we re watching it; it s just something I d never heard of. anything I should be doing differently in my life, or should I just not worry about it?
[|AI|]  Most commonly as we age , the muscle in the heart may become stiffer and that could lead to PVC. There may be many other reasons for the same, which could be suspected based on clinical examination and other investigation, if found benign just a close watch is necessary.  The lifestyle you live is ideal and just carry on the same. If blood pressure was high considering a beta blocker would take care of PVC's as well control the blood pressure.  Do discuss the same with your doctor.  As I said most commonly its benign and should be worried about much. Regards
