PVC's and PAC's

Have been having trouble with pvc's, pac's and tachycardia off and on for the last 24 years.  Have had numerous trips to the ER ekg is fine have worn a hholter monitor twice, seen a cardiologist and still am having trouble with the pvc's etc.  Is there anything that can be done to make em go away? I take inderal 120 er and verapamil er (extended release) and xanax for anxiety. Can acid refllux aggravate this? A full stomach? Menopause? I am a 52 year old woman who is getting soooo tired of tellling myself these are benign and can't hurt you. I have a slight high blood pressure. Can anxiety play a part in these symptoms? I'm really tired of panicking when ever this happens. Sometimes it's multiple times a day and then sometimes just a few times a day and then none at all. Is there anything that can be done?

sorry so long .   they come and go as they like mine are not caused by stress or anything they just happen, than poof they gone ive had maybe 4 this whole year, last year 10 weeks of them, yes reflux can make worse i have that to seems like when my tummy up-set they want to be there to help it out , lots have them with sickness/stress i seem not to have them to ofton with that.  and yes on menopause , or when you have a peried its there to so yes your hormones controls them to.  and i have the anxiety to so yes , seems like they all run with each other . they are so harmless but so scarey as long as i have had them they still scare me to death. you cam pm me anytime i be glad to talk to you , helps to have someone going through it to. hope you have a pac/pvc free day.Barbara
