I'm sorry to have so many questions, but I have one more - I just want to make
sure that I am not having "sustained" PVC's.  The beats feel irregular in between
the skipped beats and last for about 3 minutes.  The irregular beats are faster
and different than a normal heart beat between the skips....eventually the heart
goes back into a "normal" beat.  
Do you think I should go back to my doctor to wear another holtor to capture this
or do you think these are normal PVC's?
Thanks so much for your answers.

Dear Lisa, the only way to determine whether you're having sustained PVCs is to
wear another Holter monitor.  Thus, you should talk to your doctor about this
issue.
