Try beta blockers: they will help the anxiety as well. They are annoying

PVCs: Go see your family doc (yeah, I write that just about every answer). Tell him/her about your concerns. Find out cause of premature ventricular contractions eg overactive thyroid, methamphetamines, excess caffeine, holiday heart etc. If no obvious cause, beta blockers are useful to slow down heart rate & decrease frequency of PVCs. Beta blockers are also useful for (perfomance) anxiety.
