I am a 26 year old Male. I have been haveing heart Palpitations since Memorial Day weekend of 2004.  I have had Two Echo's that came back okay, worn two 30 day monitors and several 24hr monitors as well.  One of the monitors said that thee were some PVc's PAC's, Changes in P wave Morphology.  AV-IV conduction within normal limits.  Two of my EKG's said Possible Left Ventricular Hypertrophy.  The Doctors keep telling me that what is going on is harmless and that it is Anxiety and Stress related.  What the hell?  Can stress and Anxiety cause these things?  Should i relax about what i feel or should i get a 5th opinion?

yes, absolutely ,stress and anxiety can cause this. I have myself gone through it during stressful period in my life one being very recent, when my husband had a triple bypass surgery this year at the age of 33. I had also gone through ECG and Echo tests and the reports were normal.the doc said it was anxiety related. another reason for palpitation can be even if your have combined sleeping pill or any kind of anxiety or depression related medicine with alcohol. and yes you should absolutely relax because if you worry about your palpitation it will increase it.You can have a little red wine , it helps to relax and is  good for the heart.

Hi , I forgot to add in my last note , get a thyroid test done too. if you have hypo or hyper thyroid it can cause palpitation.
