Could be: Pvc's frequently occur for no known reason. But stress can cause them or make them worse. You are more likely to notice them if you are lying quietly especially on your left side.

Hi, so basically. I heard that if a PVC falls on a T-Wave, that can trigger ventricular fibrillation, and sudden death. As an 18 year old who experiences frequent isolated PVCs due to stress/anxiety on a daily basis, is this something to worry about?
