Are PVC's safe?

Are PVC's safe?

I have many PVC's and I noticed a young man in back in Aug. ask if there was a good doctor near Chicago.
I live outside of Chicago and was told about a rhythm doctor that is supposed to be "the best" according to the top heart transplant team in NY. I was in NY and had a problem with my heart and that's how I heard of this doctor.
His name is Dr. David Wilber (spelling may be Wilbur) out of Loyola in Maywood, IL. He is known internationally
and there is no one better than he for anything to do with heart rhythms.

I may be missing the connection between you post's subject and the post, but to the subject:  most times PVC are benign, but they can be very uncomfortable.  You need to be examined by a cardiologist to determine if your PVCs are "safe".

Good luck.

I believe I was told that under 1% of pvc's are actually the dangerous kind; although I've read 1-5%; but that doesn't stop the fact that when we feel them that it makes think they're dangerous.

I was recently dxed with PVC's. I have been a athelete all my life, 42 now. I am self employed and very busy, so I get the stress connection.

I seem to have virturally eliminated the PVC's in 2 week by stopping coffee cold (drank 5-6 a day) and beers (6/week). I also stopped taking high doses of Vit D and B1 both known to cause palpitations in high doses. However something happened today that made me pause (my thoughts, not my heart). I was chewing a piece of gum containing aspartame. I don't usually consume aspartame containing foods as it gives me terrible gas. 10 minutes later I felt that sickly flip in my chest and it remained on and off for 1-2 hours after I finished the gum.
I did a google search and found that Aspartame can cause palpitations (not sure of the reliability of the sources) however I know small doses of aspartame really mess up my guts so this doesn't sound so out there? Has anyone noticed this connection? I am temped to try this out with my Cardiologist when he put the 12 lead on me.
