I am having frequent Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and yet my doctor says not to worry. I am on Toprol 25 mg and am 76 years old. Do I need to worry?

In my opinion ..
if you have occasional premature ventricular contractions, but you’re an otherwise healthy person, there’s generally no reason for concern, and no treatment is needed.
Thanks
I see no reason to be worried
PVCs have no complications unless you have another heart condition
Good Luck
hi,
PVCs generally occur after the age of 70 years in a few people.
We have seen patients with PVCs leading their full normal life without any complications.
I don’t feel that you should be worrying,but at the same time you should not be negligent.
Get regular follow up consultations to rule out any anticipated complications.
All the best.
HI BENIGN PVCS ARE EXPECTED AT YOUR AGE .
KEEP A WATCH ON HEART RATES.
GET 2D ECHO DONE.
hello there
PVCs need special attention if it is associated with underlying organic heart disease.
if you have no such disease,then you should not worry.
regular follow ups is a must
If you have frequent premature ventricular contractions or underlying heart disease, you may need treatment to help you feel better and treat underlying heart problems.

If you feel flip-flops, a sensation of skipped heartbeats or odd feelings in your chest, talk to your doctor.
Do Exercise stress ECG to rule out any harmfull suspicions
