Not a chance, almost everyone gets pvc's or pac's it's just that some people are more aware of them. You will be fine.

  PVC's in a structurally healthy heart are benign unless you have a channelopathy disease (i.e. Long QT, Brugada, CPVT). If the doctor has taken an EKG and an echo and you have no other symptoms you are going to be just fine. Lots of people have PVC's and even short runs of VT, but it will not kill you. They just feel extremely scary, but you will not die. If you haven't had a cardiologist do the testing workup yet just get that done; it will help give you some peace of mind assuming everything comes back normal.

I have been told no too. I know they are scary, I have them, and when I do, they ruin my day, I hate them.

NO way is right! people with PVCs in a healthy heart are NO more likely to develop Vfib or VT then an average person without PVCs. Do not over think it, you are doing to be fine.

No way! In 99.9% of healthy hearts, PVCs are normal and nothing to worry about at all. I know it's easier said than done: I have been told time and time again how harmless my arrhythmia is, and it still scares me. I'm slowly learning to accept and live with it, though, and you can too. Please don't make it any worse than it has to be. You will be fine!
