I have PAC & PVCs and have been put on ACE inhibitor

My blood pressure is high 160/94 and doc prescribed an ACE inhib for me.  How will this effect my PVC/PAC's?  Help or hurt?  Right now I take lanoxin .25 for PVCs.  HBP runs in the family so I was doomed anyway.

Hello.  I used to have lots of PVC's, and was prescribed a Beta Blocker, but eventually the RX lost its effectiveness. and I more or less learned to live with them.  I had 2 ablations for PVCs.  Sometime after the ablations, I was put on an ACE for optimal BP.  Since the ablaitons were successful for the PVCs, I don't know if the ACE would have made a difference.  I still get PVCs, but not too often.  

Interesting question.  Hopefully, other members who are on an ACE inhibitor will respond.
