I was put on atenolol(25mg daily) to control my anxiety related heart rate. i developed benign pvcs. is it possible the drug can cause this?

Unclear question: Are you asking if atenolol can cause PVCs? It thats your question then the answer is no. Atenolol is a beta blocker, that is it blocks adrenalines irritating effect on the heart. Thus, it is actually used to treat symptomatic PVCs. Caffeine, insomnia, stress can all precipitate PVCs.
