how does it effect me?

hi,
i have a question... i am a 30 yr old female and have just been diagnosed
with pvc's and a slight murmur.. what i am wondering is..i smoke marijuana. I know its illegal and i know its bad for you but, does it have a profound affect on my pvc's. will it make me have a heart-attack? will it make it worse than smoking cigarettes (i used to smoke them but i quit a year and half ago) or caffiene or chocolate or alcohol? i had an ekg and my heart is fine except for that. i am scheduled for a sonogram soon  and am just wondering becausei enjoy smoking it and will quit if its going to kill me. but, i really dont want to i am not a drinker and would hate to pick up one habit for another. so if you could please help me i would appreciate it.  i havent discussed it with my doctor yet. because i know what he will say  the same thing they always say, so i thought i would ask you first. I am not a drug head i am a working professional and use it to stay stress free.  thanks for your advice.  
Donna
