Had pacs off and on for 8 years, mostly went away for almost 2 years while we was on antidepressant. got off of it 6 months ago, pacs are back. think antidepressant was keeping them away by keeping me mellowed out and less stressed ?

: Were you taking antidepressant for depression or anxiety/panic disorder? If you taking for the latter conditions, probably there is some relationship between PAC and the efficacy of this drug. In that case, have you been nervous or anxious recently?

I have premature atrial contractions (EP said benign) from time to time. About to get on a antidepressant for my anxiety and depression. Which is the least likely to effect heart rhythm? From my reading Prozac seems safest. Thanks?

I'm 30, 5'11" 165lb, don't smoke, drink or do drugs, no caffeine, only drink water, eat healthy-ish, not exercised in 5 years after palpitations started (PACs, sinus tachy, cardio says I need to but so stressed, could it help palpitations and stress?

My 23-year-old son was given a stress test showing pacs at 21 mets. They disappear when he stops exercising. Should we worry?

Cardio doesn't think my palps/pacs/pvcs are related to my mild MR, he thinks stress. So it's prob just a coincidence that I have both? Extra beats go away for weeks then come back, if it was the MR causing them then it prob wouldn't go away right?

Bloodwork chest xrays ekgs stress test echo`s..24hr and event holter came back good. Still having annoying pacs/heart fluttering any thoughts on this?
