A member asked:
Can being underweight cause pvc/pac? 5'1, 95lbs. used to weigh 108. never had them b4. stress/echo/holter/ekg normal.

Not really: Being underweight cannot cause PVCs however if you are taking OTC medications or prescription medications to lose weight those could be contributory. Additionally I would have my thyroid checked for hyperthyroidism. Sometimes patients taking diuretics can have electrolyte changes due to the diuretics that can cause rhythm disturbances
