Normal amount of PVC's

[newby123]

Can you tell me what a normal number of PVC's/PAC's would be per day.  I don't know if one a minute or one an hour or one a day is considered occasional or quite a bit.  I get maybe one every hour where it feels like a skippy, flutter or bang.  I have been to a cardiologist and she says he gets them as well but I forgot to ask if let's say one every hour is okay.  Sometimes I will feel them every couple of minutes and then they just disappear for a couple of hours.  Could you please tell me from what you have seen in your practice how many skips, flips, bangs or flutters would be acceptable.  Cardiologist says I have a normal heart.  I have had these things for 20 years plus.  What would you do with a patient complaining of this if all tests come back negative.

I've had PVCs for about 30 years, and for about 10 years I had them in the thousands per day (20,000+).  The thing is if you have a structually normal heart, they are still benign.  I would get reports with over 20,000 PVCs and I was still told, not a problem.  They feel weird though.

Oh my Philly!  Did you see a doctor about it?  That sounds like quite a few.  What do they say they are?  I think I was 23 when I first felt them as well.  Dealing on and off for around 20 years now.  Horrible aren't they.

I have at least 10 a minute. So if I were you I would consider myself lucky. They just started three days ago. I am still freaking out about them. I'm only 23 and fear having to deal with these for the rest of my life.
