Borderline Hyperthyroid PVC

After doing new tests they found that Im right on the line of hypertyroidism.  I know this is what is causing my PVC's so does anyone have experience in living with this condition?  Any idea on how to get rid of it so I can be rid of these PVC's?  Ill be wearing a holter for 2 weeks to doubly rule out any other heart issues.

She is waiting for the holter results before she does anything.  She wants to rule out other heart issues first but with numerous EKG's and a good stress and echo test we both are pretty sure this is my thyroid.  I saw that beta blockers help with thyroid issues.  My current med Propranolol I cant take anymore because I am not having the high heart rate anymore.  When I was taking it the pill would make me feel so much better in many ways which again leads me to believe that its thyroid.  I dont know if I want to take new medication right off the bat.  Im up for a new beta blocker but  Id like to try and combat this naturally first and then go from there.  I see this thing called L carnitine helps too but I dont know much about that pill either.  Im hoping there are a few people on the site with some experiences to share.

Did your doctor prescribe anything for your hyperthyroidism condition?  It seems  that treatment of that, even if borderline, would establish one way or the other as to its relationship to your PVC.
