    I personally sometimes experience a lot of PVCs. I obsess over getting a good reading to be able to show my doctor. It also becomes impossible to tell yourself it’s all in your head. My son is a nurse and I know the point at which PVCs go from uninteresting to concerning. At least I know they are never really urgent.

    But my primary anxiety comes from my heart not working the way it’s supposed to and being able to feel irregular heartbeats. I take peace in being able to see for myself that they aren’t frequent enough to be overly concerned. But they are a reminder I’m not going to be around forever, that’s for sure.
