Heart palps aka premature ventricular contractions are pretty common with anxiety. You should discuss this further with you doc if you haven’t, making sure to mention your anxiety if it applies.

I saw a cardiologist about my PVCs and he said in many instances they happen for no reason. He said they can become a problem when they become excessive such as 20,000 per day.

Generally speaking palpitations are not harmful but can be frightening. We immediately think of heart problems. 'Skipped' heart beats are another form of this problem Actually, the 'skip' is the heart making up for a lost beat and harmless.
Many years ago it was palpitations that sent me into GAD. I was at work and had them rather bad, for no apparent reason. I rushed home and went to the doctors. They put me on an ECG machine and nothing showed up. It's sods law that if you are on a machine the heart does not play up. If only I knew then what I know now. 30 odd years ago and I still get them now and then but accept them for what they are. They always go after a while if I accept them. Some even a little stress can cause them. Like everything else in anxiety it's the fear of how we feel that perpetuates the anxiety and the symptoms.

Thank.you for your reply, it certainly helped me , especially since last night they were unbelievable, happened for no reason and went on for hrs l. None of my medication helped , guess I'm just going to have to ride the storm.and hopefully my condition improves in time.

Your medication dosage may need to be increased or switched to a different medication if they pedsist or worsen.

I've had palpitations for over 40 years. I was on Inderal for a while at first. I've had many investigations done and it always comes back as harmless PVCs. It is unsettling though for sure.

I have had them all my life but a couple years ago they became nonstop. A 24 hour monitor showed just under 4000 a day. I had no structural heart issues so they were not concerned but I couldn't deal with that many so opted for an ablation.. I still get them but not nearly that many. Even knowing they are not harmful, having tons of them is miserable. The medications did not help mine at all. My husband gets them every other beat sometimes and when they get bad he takes a beta blocker and his stop with that. Hopefully yours will settle down soon.

Thanks for that this has put my mind at ease , I'm taking medication twice a day and it does help slightly, feeling hopeful they will get better in time take care
