PVCs are common and in someone who is otherwise healthy, they do not represent a health problem, though they can be annoying. factors that increase PVCs include any stimulant, such as caffeine, and anxiety (associated with higher levels of adrenaline). Levetiracetam is not associated with increase in PVCs (ventricular extrasystoles).
