The question is how much PVCs?.... PVCs upto 5 are non significant.... They may be in a normal person.. But try to ruleout electrolytes imbalance ( most common cause of PVCs) ... Do a CBC and Renal function tests... Even anemia can cause PVCs.. If PVCs are more than 5... Then u can start on low dose beta blockers
