Overheating can definitely trigger PVCs, but they should not last indefinitely. Dehydration can cause an electrolyte imbalance, which can cause PVCs, but again this should not be a long-lasting problem. If the PVCs were due to either of these reasons they should have stopped by now.
I hope this has been useful. I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to write back.
