When is it an emergency?

I have only been having PVC’s on and off for about a year now. I get cycles of them where it’s constant for weeks, then nothing for weeks to a couple months, then it starts again. But they’ve gotten significantly worse with each cycle. Right now I’m getting runs of 4-8 in a row before I get a normal beat, and it’s painful and makes me feel short of breath and lightheaded for a moment, and on the longer ones a sharp pain in my head. It’s been like 3 days of these longer runs, and I’m concerned with how bad it’s gotten. I’m getting so many in a row my watch is alerting to my heart rate being 30-40bpm, when it’s normally 70-100. So I’m just not sure if this is warranting an ER visit or not at this point.
