How Can Frequent Premature Ventricular Contractions Be Treated?
I went into the ER for frequent PVCs that have continued every 12th beat since then. Doctor says they are benign and my workup was negotiable. They really bother me and I can feel it when I have a PVC. Is there anything you suggest? Will I have to live with them my whole life?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that occasional PVCs are common among many individual with healthy heart which generally doesn't require any treatment.
You can prevent it by limiting the triggering factors like caffeine/tobacco and stress. If it doesn't help then consult a Cardiologist to start you on beta blockers.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
