Are premature atrial contractions (PACs) always harmless?

Doesn’t it depend on the cause? It seems doctors always dismiss it by saying “Oh, it’s nothing, don’t drink coffee,” but they don’t think about the fact that somebody’s blood sugar or electrolytes could be low at the time.

And I don’t care what anybody says; it is extremely uncomfortable to be out of breath and feeling as though one’s heart is not beating properly, so one should not simply be told to ignore it. Coffee rarely causes such symptoms, especially 1-2 cups of mild coffee a day.
Furthermore, the more you tax the heart, the quicker it will wear out.
Why is it that I know more than doctors and I have no medical degree? Is it b/c they are so busy trying to shove you out so they can get the next patient in? This is the feeling I get.
