I'm surprised they're even concerned about 1-2 times per minute. My resting heart rate is 72 bpm right now, so every third beat being a PVC is 24 PVCs a minute. And I'm normally in sinus rhythm, but I was tachycardic one time at my doctor's office and I didn't feel a thing.

Of course, with him being so young and having anxiety problems, they probably want to rule out any structural abnormalities. He's probably just fine.

I was always very type A, stressed, analytical, unable to turn my brain off and relax. It makes me great at my job and anything else I put my mind to, but it's mentally and physically exhausting to always be "on."

Keep me posted on what you find out. I'll be thinking about him. I wish I had advice for him on being less anxious and learning to relax, but only a few things work for me and he's too young for all of them. Driving relaxes me even though I analyze everything while doing it. Wine relaxes me. And lifting weights does, too. I don't get the same stress relief from doing cardio, unless it's super exhausting. I used to play tennis and roller hockey, and those worked pretty well.
