A member asked:

Can pvcs induce anxiety / panic attacks?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes & NO: Pvc's by themselves dont induce anxiety or panic, however if you already have anxiety or suffer from panic attacks then they can precipitate a panic/anxiety attack. Usually people with panic disorder are more aware of their bodily functioning and this change in the heart beating (which can be very benign) precipitates a panic attack becuase cgnitivelly it is percieved as dangerous and catastrophic.

Yes: Pvcs can be benign or cause for concern. Best to get medically evaluated. However when you can feel them, it can induce anxiety and panic that can exacerbate them further.
