I've posted on here before that both my daughter and I have pac's and pvc's and her's have recently taken a dramatic increase. She used to get a few a month, then started to get a couple hundred a day, the last couple of days she's gotten them every few seconds totalling several thousand a day. When the palpitations first started she had an entire cardio workup (holter monitor, event monitor, ecg's, bloodwork, thyroid tests, ct scan of the heart, echo, ect.) everything came back normal. When they increased the first time we took her back to the doctor and they did another holter monitor and again did some bloodwork, all of which came back normal. This time when they increased to thousands a day we took her to the ER to see if she could get some relief. They hooked her up to all the monitors and found that she was getting about 4-6 pac's and pvc's per minute. They checked her electrolytes and thyroid again and it all came back normal.
I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not pac's and pvc's at this extreme of a level can be caused by anxiety and stress? Everything else seems to be good, she's cut out all caffeine, exercises plenty, eats relatively healthy food, blood pressure is excellent, so we are wondering if it may be anxiety and stress. I've heard of anxiety causing acute issues of pvc's and pac's but I've never heard of it causing constant pvc's and pac's. Any help there would be appreciated.
