A member asked:
I have premature ventricular contractions and i'm wondering if they were caused by anxiety.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Premature ventricular contractions or PVCs for short are extra beats from the lower chambers of the heart - the ventricles. Symptoms include skip beats and/or palpitations. In your age group, these beats originate from the outflow tracks. Anxiety can exacerbate the symptoms but are not the cause.
