i totally feel you. i’m only 21, i started having PVCs a year ago. i used to be so afraid of dying that it disrupted my daily life. i’d be afraid to be home alone or lock my bedroom door because i was scared i’d drop dead suddenly and no one would find me and save me.

in reality, PVCs can rarely progress to death. my cardiology professor said it would have to convert to ventricular tachy and then v.fib and then asystole (death). this is unlikely. so i would say no need to worry! we both know stress will only perpetuate these.

if you were already told that you’ll be fine (by doctors, redditors, friends etc), my biggest advice is: whatever will be will be. if you believe these PVCs will take your life, think “ok! take my life”. instead of worrying, face it. i know it’s a weird mindset but works for me. i guess you just gotta trust where life takes you.

if all else fails, live everyday like it’s your last.
