PVC'S

hi, i'm a healthy 29yr old male, i have had the displeasure of discovering that i suffer pvc's on a daily basis, my first one (which i think everyone would agree is the most terrifying one) was about 5 years ago maybe 6 i remember very clearly i was actually playing a shooting game on the xbox and since that one they have grown more frequent, from what i have read and experienced they are stress/anxiety related and harmless, but there is a couple of things that i have noticed about mine that i would like to share. first would be, when im hungover (which isn't very often) my pvc's feel a lot more menacing, they feel slower and have a bit more of a sharp, deep feel to them. second is i rarely get them at work when my brain is working and im walking around and pretty active. third, i get them sometimes when im lifting weights, after i have done a set though, never during, which brings me to the fourth, i almost always get them when im winding down and trying to relax, as my heart rate is slowing. fifth is actually one that should be studied more i think, because the longest period of times i have been pvc free is after my knee operations when i was on pain killers  (oxycodone, tramadol, codeine,) this was for about 5 weeks i did not have one while in the euphoric state, which is good and bad i guess, bad obviously because unless you want to be a drug addict this is not a good fix for pvc's, good because i suppose we can learn more about them in a way that they could somehow create a medication that does not alter the mind but rids sufferers of pvc's.. any feedback will be appreciated, thanks(=

This sounds QUITE common.  I have ALWAYS gotten more after a night of drinking.  I knew that was going to be my lot in life when I drank.  I don't drink anymore because I am now allergic...ugh...NOT because of the PVCs.  I get them after exercise, usually a lot let during work, more upon resting.  However, that doesn't mean to say that a lot of people DO get them when exercising (at times I have) and that is even more freaky.  The reason I don't think anyone "studies" these things nor are they researching them, is because they say they are benign.  No one is thinking about the quality of life of the recipients.  

Maybe if we were vocal....?  nahhhhhhh   we will figure it out on our own, I believe,  IF there is really anything to figure out. I'm starting to believe this is JUST the way it is and we will have to live with them the way they tell us to.
