My cardiologist recently told me that stress really isn’t related to pvc’s. Omg … who do you believe! When my stress level was high that was when they started. Now that the stress is decreased, so did the pvc’s!

Did you go for a sleep study? I was referred by the cardiologist. Awaiting results.

@brendas1954 I think your experience with your PVCs answers your question.

My HF, EP, PCP all say to reduce stress as will affect your PACs and PVCs. Those are Mayo Jacksonville and my EP is world reknown EP who gives seminars to others along with writing several books. He is now involved with extensive research.

Stress more PVCs less strss less PVCs. Exactly what happens to me!

Stress matters significantly - I believe stress can kill. I had a doctor tell me as well that stress doesn't play that big of a part. When I get stressed, my blood pressure goes through the roof - I tend to be an axious person by nature and stress definitely matters!

I'm not able to attach a link, but there is an article from medical news today that confirms stress management is part of taking care of our heart disease. I have taken up doodle art - it's mindless and empties my brain of worry, which calms me down. I also exercise and make a point of eating healthfullyl.

Hello Brendas1954
My electrophysiologist and cardiologist have both told me that stress and anxiety are non-food related PVC and PAC triggers. Periods of high stress and anxiety will restart or increase PVCs and PACs in those people who have already have them. One of my close friend has a sister who is a doctor and during times of very high stress, hers will start as well. A few other people who I have talked to have also stated the same thing. Stress and anxiety will lead to an increase in PVCs and PACs in those people who already have them or it may be their first occurrence.
I know in the past couple of months, my stress levels have been high due to family issues, so I am not surprised that my palpitations have restarted.
Sadly, I am one of the few that can feel almost every PVC or PAC.

Thank you,
