Ugh. I had PVC's very regularly for about a year and a half and I feel for you. I remember the sinking feeling when the cardiologist said I'd likely just have to learn to live with them -- because when they happen, I feel so crappy.

Luckily for me, a dramatic change of lifestyle seems to have made those go away for now. (I also had atrial fibrillation -- doc said if I got myself in shape that would likely correct itself). I did, and it did.
