Anxiety?: Pvc's are common and exacerbated by adrenaline. Anxiety is a hyperadrenergic state. Calming anxiety reduces adrenaline levels and thus may results in less palpitations and pvc's.

Ativan (lorazepam): Generally Ativan (lorazepam) would work best on anxiety related cardiac arrhythmias. There is a very mild direct antiarrhythmic effect but we don't use the drug this way. With your study history you should be ok but no guarantees can be given from out here.

I'm 27 years old male having benign PVCs about 250 in a day. I feel all of them badly. My heart is fine based on tests (echo, stress, holter). I'm going to dentist and I fear that anesthesia with epinephrine will make my PVCs worse. What should I do?
