    Skipped heartbeats

    Anyone here deal with skipped heartbeats (PVCs) on a regular basis? About a month ago i noticed that mine would skip a beat once a day, but that would be it. However, on sunday night i noticed it skipping one every 10 beats or so for about an hour after going to a baseball game, figured it was just dehydration since after drinking a bunch of water and relaxing they went away. Fast forward to tuesday morning and they came back. Went to a doctor who ordered blood work, an EKG and an Echocardiogram. The PVCs lasted all day until about 6 pm, and then went away until 10pm when i tried to go to sleep. Woke up today and they were back all day. Nothing strange turned up on the bloodwork, and were waiting on the results of the echo test from this morning but i have an appointment with a cardiologist tomorrow morning. So far everyone has told me that these are fine, and not to worry about them, but its kind of hard to when they happen once every few beats for the entire day/night. Anybody here have any advice on how to not get freaked out by them, or have to deal with them before? Or any ideas on how to get them to stop or do they just have to run their course?
