Hello,
Occasional PVC's by themselves are unlikely to cause low blood pressure. You need to consult a cardiologist who can advice you exercise tests like treadmill test etc. The BP and ECG recording during the test will reveal if really there is a drop in blood pressure and whether there is any change in frequency of PVC's. You can follow an exercise program which involves more of exercises in sitting and lying position and that way you wont have low BP trouble.
Good luck.
