How Can Premature Ventricular Contractions Be Treated?
I have PVC that are diagnosed as benign. But even one PVC makes me very anxious which cause more PVC. I am on Metropolol but my doctor is advising to add another medication or do cardiac ablation. I do not know what to do. My heart is structurally healthy. thank you

Hello and welcome to HCM.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Complication of PVC can be managed on medications.If there are any associated cardiac defects or medical management doesnot help or cannot be advised,further management can be done.
I advise you to keep doing regular follow ups with your cardiologist without getting anxious at your level about PVC.As you rightly said,Stress and anxiety creates a vicious circle of causing more paplitations and vice versa.
Practice regular yoga and meditation for destressibg your mind.
Have healthy diet and avoud alcohol ,caffeine or smoking.
Hope I answered your query.
Any further query is welcome
