PVCs are very common, so it really boils down to how pathological yours are. And that's information you'd really need to extract from a cardiologist who's had a look at your holter readings, ECGs etc. If they're bad, you'd usually be prescribed something to help avoid the risk of ventricular arrhythmias - which can be very lethal indeed. Have you been to see a specialist?
FWIW sometimes certain types of stimulant can actually 'resolve' some PVCs because they shift the threshold for electrical stimulation in the right direction for you specifically (there are several competing theories for why PVCs occur). But that's something you'd really only discover through personal experimentation.
But basically, and as usual, nobody here can provide the insight I think you're asking for because we aren't your doctor and everyone's different. We can only dole out generic/non-specific advice and would hate to give you a false sense of security (or fear!)
Yes i have been to a specialist. They did a ECHO and ECG (which was quite long - i was hooked up to it for two hours). Both came out perfect expect for the extrasystoles. I got a second opinion and the doctor said my results were quote on quote "de-luxe". My GP also didnt seem concerned. Im waiting for a Holter to check for frequency i guess, but from deduciton i think they dont cross the 1% threshold (1% Is 1000 pvcs, meaning 1 PVC every minute all day - i dont feel them that often, sometimes i do, but often i go for pretty long bouts without them). I think if they would be pathological they would find on the ECHO.
