Niacin and PVCs?

Niacin and PVCs?

I recently was Rx'd 1000mg Niacin daily (high cholesterol) and I'm just trying to rule out triggers because of a rought two PVC months.  I have been on the Niacin roughly six months but my dosage was increased a month ago or so from 500 to 1000mg.

Sorry to ramble...just wondering if anyone had any possible similar reaction to Niacin?  Arrthmia is listed as a possible side effect but it seems like a low percentage of patients.  I'm laying off the stuff for now and may have to bite the bullet and take a statin.

Thanks in advance...
