PVC's and PAC's

[freakedoutfemale]

Hello.  I have had a holster monitor for 24 hours and my doctor told me that I had 234 PVC's and 3 couplet PVC's and 133 PAC's and 1 triplet PAC registered on it.  I do feel these things in my heart.  It goes normal then does a small double beat and a long pause and a big bump.  I am a 49 year old female and had these things since my early 30's but never really knew what they were.  My doctor says that is is completely fine to have these but it just seems like a lot of them to have.  I have also had an EKG and Echocardiogram of my heart and it looks normal is what the verdict is.  Do other people get this many PVC's and PAC's.  It just seems like it is quite a few.  Do you think I should be concerned over these findings?

Take a look at the previous posts and the patient forum.  Trust me that you are not alone.  About 70% of people have PVC/PACs daily.  The numbers that you have are not that high. If you have a normal echo and EKG, this does is not a big concern.  Learning to live with the symptoms may be hard but it starts by believing that they are not dangerous.
