Dear Mary, You may draw comfort from the fact that many other people have the same concerns as you. Let me reassure you that PVCs are completely benign and harmless. There is no increased risk of dying with PVCs and really no need to do anything about them. Your doctor may want to order a Holter test to reassure you that there is nothing else going on. I hope you find this information useful.
