Hi

I am having some strong beats of hart time by time, maybe max till 5 times per day. So hart rhythm is normal during the time but once , i feel strong hart beat. I do analyzes ecg, echo, holter and doctor says that that's usual.

Bases on what i have read here it seems it's pvc, i just wanted to ask it is danger and is it really normal hart behavior?

Regards

It's incredibly rare that PVCs prove to be dangerous, and when they are then it is a very extreme case of it. They're pretty normal, and if there were any risks then they most certainly would have shown up during the very thorough testing you underwent. I'd say there's nothing to worry about :)

They are considered fairly normal.  I believe I read somewhere around 40% of the population get them.  Regardless if they are normal or not when them come isolated or one here and there and they are not accompanied by heart damage the hard extra beats are not a concern to the cardiologist so try to not worry.  It sounds like you had enough tests to show your heart is healthy and will tolerate and extra beat or so just fine.  Things to watch out are stress and stomach issues.  Those 2 things seem to be the biggest triggers to getting the extra and hard beats.  Take care.
