I’ve had these on and off for years.

They go crazy then calm down etc etc.Now when I’m rested and sitting down they stop but after standing up and moving around they begin..

I’ve had echo which is normal and Holter should PVCs /pacs but that was a good day and only had 3.

This last week they happen when I’m moving around every few beats but then randomly stop and I have 30 mins with none.

I’m obsessed with them.i google PVCs all day every day,I dream about them.

I wake up every morning terrified as soon as I open my eyes,then I have to rush to the toilet,I have no appetite and I get that nervous feeling all the time.

Each day I know as soon as I get outside they will start and they do,I’m stressed every day and keep telling myself my life’s over.

On a morning I sometimes shake and my hands go icy cold.

The doctors have said I have anxiety disorder but why would the PVCs/pacs start when moving around.

I’m scared to go out now,I’m terrified before I go out.

The doctors have said I’m healthy but i must have some undiagnosed condition ?

I’ll be fine till 5pm now when I have to walk home.

I’m scared to stand to make a cup of tea,I’ve lost interest in how I look etc and that’s not like me.

How you are describing the daily episodes it does sound like anxiety is the main cause, you are expecting it to happen so it does.

I have problems with ectopics but mine happen randomly all the time, up and about, sitting quietly and at night.
