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

Have a regular heartbeat most of my life and I'm 62 years old. Some days I feel like every 10th beat is a regular heartbeat. I feel like I wasted my time for 4 years with this loop recorder in my chest and I would transmit several recordings every day of my heart fluttering and jumping and skipping beats yet the loop recorder never red flagged any of it and always said my heart was in a normal heart rhythm during all the times I transmitted recordings. My doctors had me on metoprolol for about 20 years and I'm beginning to think this metaprolol is causing my heart to have more irregular heartbeats

I have had metoprolol for over three year, which never reduce my PAC and PVC in any meaningful sense. My recent Holter indicates I had a burden of 40% and my EP put me on Flecainide 50mg bid along with 25 metoprolol daily. After one week, I just dropped metoprolol completely without approval of my EP, but almost immediately gets back my regular heart beats. So I share your thought that it is metoprolol that has caused my heart to have more irregular beats
