Worried about location of my PVCs

Hello everyone, new to this forum.

About 3 months ago i started having PVC's at a very low burden (V6). Everything i read on the internet states that PVC's in this location are very rare and a red flag for scary things like ARVD. My question is, is it possible to have BENIGN PVC's from this area of the heart? or does it have to be from underlying heart disease?

I am 32 yr old healthy male with no family history of any heart disease. Extensive cardiac testing all negative. Pending results for genetic testing but am full of anxiety awaiting the results..

I don’t know what’s wrong with the text entry.. but I meant to say my burden is <300 PVCs per day. Echo, ekg, mri, stress test all normal. My only concern is that pvc seems to be coming from bottom of right ventricle near the apex. Can benign PVCs originate from this location?
