How many PACs or PVCs are considered too many to require treatment?

My PAc's and PVC's started when I was 26. I'm 73 now. It seems I go through periods when I have very few, almost none, then there are times when I feel I have so many in a day. I'm on Metoprolol ER 12.5 mg daily more for blood pressure then the beats. My life is very stressful. My husband has dementia, along with other mental conditions and I believe that has alot to do with them. When I am upset so is my heart. After all these years I find I can control them better with thought and concentration. A positive mind set can help. There are times when they become bothersome and I'm all the way down the rabbit hole.

Dear blue717,
So sorry to hear about the difficulties that are bringing on stress. I'm also someone who has had irregular heart beats for nearly 50 years. I used to think stress was just a normal way to live, but find that my irregular beats are definitely more likely to occur in times of severe stress. I've been doing meditation and exercise regularly to see if it helps. I just started wearing a smart watch to do ECGs as well.
I wish you well on your journey.
