I've had PVC's too. Getting enough sleep is what takes care of mine. When I get overtired they start to come back.

  That's happened to me, too. Worst episode I ever had was in India earlier this year, while dealing with jet lag and a significant case of gastrointestinal poisoning, my PVCs stepped up to once every two-three beats. For a short time, they spiraled into some form of SVT (not formally diagnosed as this was before I started carrying an EKG on me) that resulted in visible chest movement (as in you could stand in front of me and watch my chest shaking) and a 240 bpm reading on my Apple Watch. Good times. Between being absolutely run-over-by-train tired and having (likely) electrolyte imbalances due to the impossibly large amount of liquid going in one end and out the other, my heart was not at all pleased. Now that I'm back on my routine schedule, I find that everything is mostly okay if I get a full night's sleep and take my meds. Even with the meds, though, if I get woken up by the kids or something and get a half-night of sleep, the PVCs ramp up quite a bit. As does the temptation to find some caffeine, which would be completely counterproductive. Sorry for the wall of text.
