They're back

I've had pvcs/pacs for over 40 years....I'm an avid runner, have had every cardio test known and my cardiologist thinks i'm his healthiest patient.....I've tried everything from no caffine to magnesium, etc.....nothing works.....sometimes these skips disappear for months and suddenly come back for no apparant reason....there is no rhyme or reason to them.....sometimes i get them while running, sometimes not.....sometimes they are more frequent when I wake up in the morning and then tend to cease as the day progresses......sometimes they appear when I lay down.....you would think there would be some answers out there in the medical world.....i'm one of those who can feel every one of these things. Even though I've had them on and off for all these years, they still drive me crazy when the appear in large amounts. Just thought I'd vent a little.......i guess for all of us, even though we are constantly told they are benign, we stress terribly over them......surely there's an answer somewhere. Funny, but I talk to many people about this and often there response is something like, "oh, I get those once in awhile too!" They don't seem to be bothered by them.......why then are we? Who knows.....thanks for taking the time to read this.......
