Dear sir/Madam
Thanks for your query to us.
Yes, skip beats can be caused by PVCs. If you are having any symptoms because of these PVCs like giddiness, lightheadedness, chest discomfort, nausea etc, please do call 911. We treat PVCs only if they are symptomatic or they are associated with structural heart disease. Otherwise they are considered to be benign entities.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
