PVCs and shortness of breath

Do any of you suffer shortness of breath along with PVCs? I believe I do. I "skip beats" always at least 1 in every 30. sometimes as often as 1 in 2 or 3 beats.

I sometimes get mild shortness of breath with these darn things; mainly due to fear and anxiety over them as I have anxiety and panic attacks almost every time I feel one.
