    Hi, sorry to hear about your situation. I'm not a medical professional, just an average person suffering from PVCs, so I can't offer any advice other than my own experiences. That said, I've learned that PVCs can be caused by many things and sometimes, as in my case, there is no known trigger (as of yet). If it were me in your situation, I would see a doctor as soon as possible to get a proper evaluation. You want to rule out any structural issues that may be causing them. Stress and anxiety could be contributing factors, but you want to make sure it's not something else. Take care!

    That sound a a sensible reply. Stress undoubtedly is a major factor in bringing on pvc's and your situation has been very stressful. Its good advice to speak to a doctor so they can set your mind at rest

    I'm sorry to hear about everything you've had going on. I would say that the stress from the situation you're in could definitely be causing palpitations, they probably aren't anything to worry about. I've heard of covid causing longer lasting effects for many people, but I don't think that's usually a problem unless you felt pretty sick. Your palpitations are most likely caused by stress, but if they are getting real bad and you have heart problems, it definitely wouldn't hurt to have them checked out just in case. They're probably nothing, but it's always nice to make sure.

    I hope your Mom gets better soon and you start to feel better as well. We are here for you.
