pac's

I have 20,000 pac's per day. I don't drink a lot of caffeine and I'm not stressed. What should I do if anything.

That is a pretty high load.  Have you been evaluated by a cardiologist?  I would suggest at least having an echo done to check out the health of the heart and make sure there aren't any underlying problems contributing to the amount you are having.  How do you feel with them?  Are they making you feel ill or do you function fine with them?  Have you spoken to an EP Cardiologist to discuss your options?  If you are having difficulties functioning I would talk to a doctor about the possible option for ablation but that is something you need to discuss the pros and cons and see if it is the right avenue for you.  Other than that I would say make sure you are well hydrated and address any stomach issues you might have especially acid reflux.  Those two are big triggers for me aside from stress and caffeine.  I hope you can get them resolved or down to a more manageable level.  Keep us posted on how you are doing.
