Does anxiety cause premature heart beats?

Premature contraction refers to extrasystoles. Anxiety disorder can cause extrasystoles. It should be analyzed in combination with actual conditions.

If the patient's condition is mild, only worry, anxiety, fear, etc., active treatment after illness will control the condition. At this time, it will not affect heart function and will not cause extrasystoles. If the patient's condition is serious, muscle tension, shortness of breath, suffocation, restlessness and other discomfort symptoms will occur. If the patient is not treated in time after illness, the condition will worsen, leading to sympathetic nerve excitation, causing abnormal myocardial contraction frequency, and extrasystoles will occur.
