How dangerous are premature atrial contractions if they happen 15-20 times a day?

r fellow asked:


I’ve been diagnosed as having PAC’s (premature atrial contractions). I’ve been told by my doctor that they’re harmless, and I ignored them when they were only happening a couple of times a day. They are now becoming more frequent though.. more like 15-20 times a day and it’s starting to worry me. Should I be concerned? Thank you.

      Seek a second opinion. If this is something that you notice and its happening more frequently then you have a problem.
