Cfollowup: certainly, notify your cardiologist; however,it seems that you are more concerned with even having pvcs and/or apcs and it is casusing anxiety. I suggest exercise, meditation, read The Relaxation Response by Herbert Benson, M.D. I also suggest 1-2 sessions with a clinical psychologist. Good news about your workup.
