Hi there,

I would suggest that you at least go and see your General Practitioner as he can do an ECG and make sure that what you are feeling are just PVC's and not something like A-Fib.  

Like Jon said:  a beta blocker can help with your heart rhythm.  The Doc can prescribe that to you and he can also do bloodtests and check your Potassium and Magnesium levels - and other electrolytes.  If your potassium is to low (under 3,5) it can cause irregular heart beats, but to much potassium is also not good for your heart, so you need to know what your levels are and that can only be done with a bloodtest.

Assuming you have seen your doctor and confirmed they are harmless PVC's you can try magnesium or potassium supplements, but only if your doctor approves. These can sometimes help control your PVC's if you have a deficiency. You can also ask your doctor about a beta blocker to slow your heart rate and make them less noticeable, but it won't stop them. There are meds for PVCs but they are seldom used as they may cause more problems than they cure.

What has your doctor suggested?
