Despite your symptoms, you should not pass out just from PVC's and you should not be harmed by PVC's. The medication your cardiologist referred to is called a beta blocker. In young patients like yourself, beta blockers frequently cause intolerable side effects like impotence, severe fatigue, and decreased exercise tolerance. Thus, I think the best way for you to approach this problem is to develop coping strategies for PVC's - an evaluation for anxiety may help. I hope you find this information useful.
