PAC/PVC

PAC/PVC

Does everybody get either PAC/PVC everyday?

What is the average number of PAC/PVC a person gets on any given day?

Has anybody had these in their 20's -30's and lived to 70's or 80's?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you everyone.

I recall reading that by age 40, half the population have PVCs daily (small numbers/daily --- most probably don't notice). By age 60, more than 90% of the population have PVCs (with nearly 20% experiencing more than 100/day).

Yes, of course, those having PVCs in their 20's-30's will generally live to their 70's and 80's.  That's because PVCs in a normally structured heart are harmless (and Social Security tables show avearge life expectancies are over 80 for both men and women).

As for PACs, I personally started experiencing PACs/PAF in my late twenties.  I'm now 65 and still here (and planning to live into my 80's). PACs are harmless too.

Quit worrying about this.

i have had pac since i was 23 am now 48, i have them for 9 weeks at a time, 6-7 every min, than they go away. i take a bb for them it helps a lot timolol. they still scare me when they come for weeks at a time ,mine dont come with stress like most mine just do as they please and come when they feel like it . am pretty much ok with them . its the anxiety am having right now that is bothering me, i started getting that 23 years ago with the pac, but been through a lot last 3 months so anxiety been really bad tring get over it . wish there was a magic pill to take and get rid of it . but try not worry about pvc/pac it just makes them worse
