Dear Lisa, thank you for your question. Common precipitants for PVCs include alcohol, tobacco, stress, and caffeine so those should be avoided. Additionally, beta blockers are a medication that can be used to suppress PVCs but they are associated with side effects that some patients can't tolerate. Overall, I find that patients benefit by trying not to focus on the PVCs and by trying new relaxation techniques like biofeedback. I hope you find this information useful.
