That sounds strange to fear something purely based on its medical name. Driving is "rarely fatal", and that seems good enough for almost everybody. premature ventricular contractions are basically extra heart beats that disrupt the normal rythm. If you have the feeling that your heart skips a beat, that's most likely caused by a premature ventricular contraction. It can be caused by heart problems but is in itself apparently harmless.
