Interesting your doc said it was largely a benign condition. I have heard repeatedly it will (or could) cause a stroke or heart attack. Did he address that with you? I’d be interested in any feedback you could give me, thanks.

I do not have "A-Fib", which I believe is what can lead to strokes, etc. I think what I have are called PVCs. The beta blocker that I take daily (metoprolol) usually controls them. If I get into a period in which they become more frequent, I can up the dosage. My current dosage seems to be working.

I sued to be stressed out at work a lot. But I have since adopted a "just mailing it in/not caring" approach which seems to help.
