Hi Lisha, Really sorry to hear about all the trouble you are having. I have the same problem. It is probably what they call PVC OR PAC. There is a lot of information out there on the net about this. The more uptight you are the worse it becomes. PVC and PAC form what I understand are not lifethreating , but they do scare the hell out of you. You really do need to see a doctor to have it checked out for sure. I don"t know where you live, but there should be somewhere you can go that they base it on you income. I am a smoker too, and have been for almost 40 years. I can get down to 5 to 7 cigarettes a day,but just can't quite quit. I have found that caffine makes them worse. so have given up all caffine. Please try to find somewhere you can be checked out and try to stay calm. If you would like to do more resersh check on the net under arrhythmia. God bless
