Does Anxiety/Panic cause PVC's

[Michaelccc]

i'm a 34 year old male and have been suffering with anxiet/panic since the age of 23. I have never in that time felt PVCs . i remember feeling like 1 pvc every year never paid much attention to it , didnt know what it was. About 2 months ago my aunt died from cancer and i started to feel pvcs a few times a day. i went to a doctor to find out what it was and was explained that it was PVCs. Here is my question does anxiety cause pvcs or do pvcs cause anxiety. If anxiety causes pvcs then do they cause the actual pvcs or does anxiety act as a catalyst in bringing out the existing condition in the heart. Meaning - my understanding of pvcs is that pcvs are caused by an "extra" pathway in the heart, if that is so then how can anxiety cause a pvc a pvc is described as some physical problem. can someone explain this to me? Also if anxiety and panic causes pvcs then what if i have a huge panic attack what would happen lots of pvcs over and over and over ? and if so what would keep this from turning into V-tach? someone please help. One more question if most people have pvcs as doctors sometimes tell us then why aren't beta blockers prescribed to everyone?? i mean most of the population

My husband gave me that nickname "Barbarella" before we were even married, and has called me Barbarella for the last 45 yrs.

Dont you love that this is going on in your post?  

Who lost track of topic?

V, I love your accent when you type.  Awake, huh?  Often, seldom.  Gina, behave.  Barbarella, why do I picture Jane Fonda whenever I see your name?

This post has gone so far off topic that I could sing show tunes here and it would be appropriate.  How about this idea....if you dislike the people posting, stay off the post. (I think it was put to me...dont read it!)  If what they say means little to you and they arent worth your words...dont type the words.
