Hi My names Matt im 14 i got diagnosed with PVC's about 3 weeks ago but have been having them since i was about 6-7, recently i have been diagnosed with panic attacks and Anxiety. I have a therapist that i see for that (has been helping), But about 3-4 weeks ago i started to feel a pain in my chest and of course started to freak out. now i went to the doctor about a week later and he diagnosed me with the PVC's that i have been having since i was a little boy. He told me i should try not to worry about it, and told me my blood pressure was fine and my heart had no mummer, so i left feeling really good, but of course this did not stop the chest pain. My therapist made a very good point about it because she told me if it were really something to worry about it would be getting worse and be constant(which its not) and progress, so i was fine until about 7 min. ago i saw a form about PVC's that said,"you have nothing to worry about unless you are feeling dizzy,shortness of breath and chest pain.",So now i am really worrying because i have all of those symptoms :(, I just want to know if i have to make my mom pay for another visit to the doctor or if its just my anxiety.
Thank you to any one that answers,

Matt,
A lot of people, healthy people, throw PVC's occasionally. Usually they are nothing to worry about. They can be caused by anxiety, caffeine, certain medications, even exercise.
You've been to the doctor recently and had your heart checked. You have no murmur and you're young. I tend to think its the anxiety.
If I may suggest, stop looking up things on the internet. They can scare you. Many things that people worry about are common and easily explained.
Hope it helps.

Thanks that really did help i wish i would have saw it sooner though because now i read that in young adults and children PVC's can be a sign of a heart problem that can result in sudden death :(

Matt,
Look what you just wrote..."PVC's can be a sign of heart problems." Even you said "CAN."
That doesn't mean "PVC's will be a sign..." or "PVC"S are a sign..." It means "CAN BE."
You have had your heart checked. Not having a murmur is good, it means the valves are healthy and functioning as they should. Your blood pressure is good, so you're not putting a strain on your heart. You should also know that cardiac problems in children and young adults are not common.
I do not see a reason to worry about this. As I said, the internet CAN SCARE YOU. Lots of people post things without any background to prove or disprove them.
Hope it helps.
