Can having an experience that gets your heart racing after a shock cause you to go into long term PVCs?

Experiencing a frightening or shocking event can indeed trigger physical symptoms, including heart palpitations. However, the potential relationship between such an experience and developing long-term PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) is not a direct or proven association.

PVCs are extra heartbeats that originate from the ventricles of the heart. While PVCs can occur in an occasional and benign manner, frequent or persistent PVCs may require medical attention. The development of chronic PVCs, or any long-term heart condition, typically involve contributing factors and underlying cardiovascular issues.

It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional if you experience heart-related symptoms following a traumatic experience. They can thoroughly evaluate your health, determine the possible causes of your symptoms, and provide appropriate medical advice and treatment if necessary.
