Re: PVC's

I have written before and appreciate your comments. I have a short question. I have PVC's and PAC's daily. Lately, (3 days now), they have been coming in runs one after another and I get really scared. It scares me because I feel like I may not get them to stop. I cough, change position, whatever it takes to make them stop. It takes about 10 seconds for them to stop. Do I need to be reevaluated or do you feel that they are ok. What will happen if they do not stop? Will I faint or go into cardiac arrest or something serious? They are a nuisance but I can handle getting one or two a minute, but it really scares me when they come all in a row and for 10 seconds or more. Thank you so much for anwering so many questions.

Dear Kelsey
I believe a change in symptoms always deserves a re-evaluation.
I hope this has been useful. Feel free to write back with further questions. Good luck.
