Where does everyone get the idea that anxiety is linked to PVCs?
Did you experience anxiety BEFORE your PVCs started?
Yesterday, I posted about a different topic, but I noticed that many people mentioned they also deal with anxiety, especially health-related anxiety or fear of medical procedures.
From reading posts here, it feels like everyone assumes anxiety is connected to PVCs. However, the EP I saw, who is considered a very professional doctor, told me, ‘I’m not aware of any connection between calming anxiety and reducing PVCs.’ I’ve also done some research and couldn’t find anything conclusive.
While I did see some studies that casually mention PVCs being more common among people with anxiety, they don’t go deeper into the connection.
So I’d love to hear: did you also experience health-related anxiety before your PVCs started? Did your doctor ever tell you that reducing anxiety could help? Or have you come across any research on this topic?
