PVC and Reflux

I've had frequent PVCs for the past several months. Something strange happened today. All day, I've had PVCs at a rate of one per beat or one per every two or three beats. At night (like usual)they became more frequent. I also noticed some heartburn tonight (not usual). I got up, took a Tums, and the PVCs all but stopped for 1/2 hour. I can also easily "start up" PVCs within myself by simply lying on my left side at almost any time.
Is there a documented connection between PVCs and GI problems?
