Normal w pvcs?

Is it normal for some days to have runs of pvcs an then on others only have one of two.   Or are runs of pvcs indicators of bad things.  I'm 24 I am awaiting holter results but didn't have any while wearing it.   my cardio said that were ectopic beats.  Is that the same as pvcs?  I'm just confused and want to begin living life sgain

Here's some info from the National Library of Medicine - http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001100.htm

I would def call and ask your doctor and get a copy of your test results to see what's going on.

Sounds like you need to call your doc up and ask for an explanation....in most cases thomas ectopics are benign or not serious and life moves on...you need to get confirmation from your doctor tho.  And trust me bad news comes super super fast from heart docs if a holter shows up anything at all.....makes sense...heart docs do not wait so if you haven't heard anything yet you can probably relax a little...i would still call their office tomorrow and ask to speak w. the doc becaues you want to know how the results came out.....and no ectopics and pvc's are different....ectopics are pretty common but still literally thousands and thousands and thousands of people have pvc's....no worries call the doc to get your answers my friend.
