Can PVC'S occur more or less depending on weight loss or gain ?

Hi,
I was just wondering if pvc's can happen more or less frequently depending on your weight ? I/m a 41 yr old woman who has had pvc's since i was in my early 20's. I was very thin when i started getting them 5'6 115 lbs. With each of my pregnancys i have gained about 35 lbs. and i have always noticed my pvc's almost never happen when i'm pregnant. Though they come back afterwards especially after i lose the weight. My last pregnancy was 5 years ago and i did not lose the weight i had gained this time. I still had pvc's but not as many as when i was very thin. Then several months ago i lost 20 lbs and i noticed my pvc's occuring alot more again. So i was just curious if pvc's can actually occur less when you weigh more ? I also get pac's but not very often. I feel the pvc's in my chest and the pac's in the right side of my neck. Is this normal ? Several months ago i had a first episode of svt that i went to the hospital for, it lasted 7 hours untill i was given medication through an iv. i noticed that right before my heart began racing i felt a pac. My doctor has since told me that only rarely do people get svt from a pac. I have since had a few pacs with no svt. I was just wondering what is the chance that i will have another svt episode ?
Also i have been taking 25 mg of atenolol per day since the svt occured.I was told i wouldn't be able to exercise on it but i have no problems doing so. Do you know why this would be ?
Thanks, bellasong67

Atenelol is a beta blocker, just like Metaprolol.

Anything ending in -lol is a beta blocker :)

Your post is the first I've seen that connected an increase in heart arrhythmia problems with weight loss.  I'd guess just the opposite if there is any connection to weight.... i.e., over weight isn't good for the heart or much else.

I am not familiar with atenolol, is it a beta blocker and/or anti-arrhythmia drug?  In either of these cases I do not understand why one can not exercise.  I have exercised at a high level, for my age, while taking both Propafenone and Metoprolol.
