Hey BlkMtnGirl :)
I can tell you what I know about PVC's.
My GYN found mine during a yearly exam. Realized the only way I knew I was having them was to check my pulse. I know weird. I never felt anything in my chest.
My first 24/hr Holter monitor test was showing 13,000 PVC's in 24 hours. Then months later when I noticed they had increased my test results were 33,000 in 24 hours. They weren't too worried at 13,000 but the 33,000 concerned them as it could weaken the heart. I was very thankful then that I could not actually 'feel' the PVC's as I'm sure my anxiety would have gone through the roof !
I had a heart ablation done and they 'burned' 11 places in my heart that were misfiring. They left one spot because they didn't like where it was.
Now they are at 650 in a 24 hour period. All fixed.
They dr's told me most people have them here and there and are not really anything to worry about. Of course that's easy to say if you are not the one having them right ? 
Hope this info helps you. Take care

ps.....I have small fiber neuropathy. I'm pretty sure I had it in 2011when the ablation was done, though a very mild case. It wasn't until I had chemo in 2013 that it turned severe.
