General & Family Physician,  's  Response
you may be at increased risk of developing heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) or weakening of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy).

there is no life expectancy in premature ventricular contractions.

If you have occasional premature ventricular contractions then there is no need to worry .

manage your hypertension promptly.

If you feel flip-flops, a sensation of skipped heartbeats or odd feelings in your chest then you should speed up to the emergency room.

proper treatment and followup is must for your condition.

as a doctor said you may need surgery according to your symptoms severity.
