@crashnam, I wanted to quickly jump in and tell you that we are so glad you are part of the Connect community. I'm certain that fellow members also appreciate the insightful thoughts and comments you've posted, about your health. In fact, I just found this journal publication which, in my opinion, relates closely to your questions /concerns about treatment options for premature ventricular complexes (PVCs): https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/849502

Thank you. If you're interested, I have had ringing in both ears since I came back from Vietnam in 1970. A piercing ringing, clicking, clanking, sputtering (like a pressure cooker), 24-7. I have had diverticulitis for over 35 years with tons of infections and excruciating pain. In 1988, I was lying on living room floor talking on the phone when I started getting slow moving muscle twitches and flutterings in both legs for no apparent reason. Still have them, and I will also get muscle flutters in chest and arms. Sometimes wonder if these muscle problems affect the heart at all. Have had two tests done (electric shock), over the years and nothing conclusive was found. Hated the tests, very painful. Three episodes of Sciatica the last ten years with throbbing toothache type pain from lower back, down the right leg into the foot. Impossible to sleep. And four or five episodes of Vertigo the last five years. Mine is unique. Everything jiggles back and forth instead of going around in circles. One instance of full blown lyme disease, which was horrifying. Was in third stage before I went to the doctor. Anyway, many times, over the years, I would be suffering with a diverticulitis infection, heart going crazy, ears ringing of course, muscles twitching, all while at work and at home. Not a lot of fun. But through it all I have tried to live my life normally. Stay active now as best I can. I'll check out the web site you mentioned.
