@robbie1956 -There is a connection between ectopic beat, such as PAC and PVC, and digestion, especially indigestion and GERD.
The skipped beats in themselves are not dangerous. However, you can ask your doctor for a HolterMonitor. It will record your heart beats for 24 hours.

@astaingegerdm thanks for responding…what I meant to say in my topic was that at night, I take some Mylanta when I go to bed and it seems to help…..I’ve been monitored before for 48 hrs in 2014, the holter recorded 5300 isolated Ectopics for a total of 3.4 %….no PVC burden….the vast majority of the Ectopics were asymptomatic. I may have to have another monitor…thanks so much for responding…..I see my Cardiologist this Wednesday……
