Can Spells, Dizziness And Cold Sweat While Being Detected With PVCs And On Beta Blocker Be Due To Anxiety?

I was hospitalized last week for irregular heartbeat. Tests show I am having pvcs. Was put on beta blocker. I am still having spells with pvcs bad, dizziness, cold sweat. Have called dr and they think may be anxiety. I know I am having anxiety attacks also but have no idea how to control and could anxiety cause all these symptoms. I am unable to work or care for my family.

Hello...
You have given incomplete details regarding yourself. You did not mention your age, since how many days you have irregular heart beats and any significant past history you have or any heart disease you are suffering from.

Still i want to tell regarding PVC. Occasional PVC in young patient is common and does not related to any heart pathology. But if these PVCs are frequent and in elderly or having some heart disease then it could be a significant pathology and should treat it seriously.
If you have a symptoms like anxiety, dizziness and cold sweat then it may be related to your PVCs but it can be also occur in Panic attack.

So according to your details. my advise is Use selective B blocker like Metoprolol 25 sustained relase along with some anti anxiety drugs like Fluoxetine at night.

Thank You.
