Yes but . . .: To allay your anxiety, you should ask this question of your cardiologist who made diagnosis. With that said, check out american heart association's stance: http://www.Heart.Org/heartorg/conditions/arrhythmia/aboutarrhythmia/premature-contractions_ucm_302043_article.Jsp. Go see your family doc & psychiatrist to deal w/anxiety.

Benign: Premature atrial contractions are usually a benign finding and not cause for limitation in exercise.
