Need more info...: Answer is "sometimes." if you are otherwise in good or excellent health, and particularly since you are younger, the pvcs can actually be "brought out" by the psns that puts the brakes on the stress (sns) system. So it is not uncommon that when you get to rest / lie down / etc., that you notice all the odd-beats come out. Usually stress hormones overdrive these due to speed.

Could be: You are 19, meaning you have left one life for another, as you move from child to full adult. College or workforce entry, self-responsibility... All things that could provoke anxiety. If you are otherwise healthy, i think you are right: anxiousness. Good luck!
