your GP likely wouldn’t know the difference between a “harmless” arrhythmia and the widow-making type. as others have noted, get more detail from the doc (hopefully an electrophysiologist!) before continuing any strenuous activity. what you describe could be harmless PVCs, life-threatening VT/VF, or anything in between or something else!
