PVCs and Acid reflux

I have been experiencing PVCs when lying down and seated improperly (slouching, reclining). I also suffer from occassional acid reflux, but am not on consistent medication for it currently (although I have been in the past).
What is the relationship between the two conditions? I have been researching PVCs and found some mention of a relationship, but nothing in detail.
I have not discussed this new information with my family practice doctor yet, but prior to this he told me PVCs should be more pronounced with activity, not with rest, and therefore he is attributing it to stress (which I feel is incorrect - I'm one of the least stressed people you will ever meet). As I become more active (and consequently am usually upright) the PVC go away.
I am a 30 year old male, who is othewise is in excellent condition (ok, maybe a little overweight..). All of my blood tests have been fine. EKGs have been fine and I have been on a holster monitor which has detected PVCs (at most about 3 in a minute) but they are usually for short durations (20 minutes or less).
