The recommended limit of caffeine during pregnancy is 200 milligrams (mg) a day. So with a typical soda containing 35 to 55 mg of caffeine, it's wise to limit yourself accordingly, and take into account other sources of caffeine in your diet, such as coffee, tea, and energy drinks.
If you have a known heart problem, such as heart failure or heart disease, PVCs may be a sign that a dangerous heart rhythm could occur. So if you have a heart problem, talk to your doctor if you feel any change in your heartbeat. The cause of PVCs usually isn't known. But the chance of having PVCs can be increased by: 1  Having too much or too little of certain minerals (electrolytes) in your body. 2  Having too little oxygen in your blood, which could happen if you have COPD or pneumonia. 3  Using some medicines, such as albuterol.
The reason PACs or PVCs can sometimes be felt as a skipped beat, is that the heart gets a premature signal to squeeze before it has had time to fill with blood. The resulting heart contraction does not produce blood flow to the body. A pause is felt, and the following heart beat is more forceful than usual. If the PAC or PVC is less premature, and the heart has had time to fill with blood before receiving the early signal to squeeze, an extra beat will be felt rather than a skipped beat. Premature beats are common in healthy people of all ages.
