PVC'S/Increase

I have had PVC's for 2 years now.  At first, they did not occur as often
as they do now.  I have them everyday now.  Why is that?  I do not stress
out about it as much as I used to.  I realize that the heart (ventricle)
resets itself after the extra beat.  My doctor has prescribed Atenlol for
me at 25mg.  I currently take Paxil 10mg.  Are the two okay to take
together??  I just want to know why at age 31 that I started getting
these annoying palpitations.  There does not seem to be a good reason.
Can you give me some insight as to why these type of rythym disturbances
begin????  Finally, I know this has been somewhat long-winded, but do
PVC's get worse as we age???????
