effect of Ginseng on High Blood Pressure and PVC's

Hi,
I've recently started to take a multivitamin supplemtent and it has 30 mg of Korean Ginseng in it.  I've read different views about this and was wondering if there is any real medical facts of the effects of it on High Blood Pressure and PVC's.  Most stuff I've read says that it balances blood pressure, but I've also read the opposite.  Which is correct?

Thank you very much in advance for your your time and response.
Bob

In general I recommend that individuals with high blood pressure not take Ginseng.  There is not really any hard medical data on this but I think the risks outweigh the benefits.  I don't know of any effect of Ginseng on PVCs.
