arrythmias

Having been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and an arrythmia problem my question is can an arrythmia problem change frequently, it seems some days my heart rate is slow for the day, other days its higher, pvc's can become more frequent, other days none at all, my daily tasks stay the pretty much the same but my symptoms do not, is this normal.

Heart rhythm can vary however in general it is pretty stable.  If you are having extreme fluxuations in your heart rate you should probably see your doctor about it.  He may want to get a Holter monitor to check it out.

i take atentol to help block pac/pvcs, but still have them daily. does pac/pvcs do any damage to the heart? if i,m  ask do you have heart trouble, what do i say yes or no ?

In general PACs and PVCs do not cause heart damage.  I  don't usually clasify someone with only PVCs and PACs as having heart disease.
