Posted on Sat, 20 Aug 2016

Question: Hi. feeling a bit concerned. just had a super long run of what seemed like at least 3 seconds or more of heart palpitations. I have been diagnosed with PVC's per my cardiologist and as confirmed by several ekg's, a chest Xray, an echo, and a 24 hour holter my heart is perfectly normal. should I be worried?

Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query very carefully and understood your concerns.

However you shouldn't worry about PVCs as long as cardiac examinations were normal it's a harmless situation. Appart from discomfort and some levels of increased anxiety they will not cause any harm at you.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
