Is it the same?

I suffer from cardiomyopathy 30% function in the left ventricle. I get alot of pvc's, recorded on a holter monitor. I have two questions pvc's have usually felt like a flip and a flop, but sometimes I get a weird little flip but no flop afterwards, sometimes even a fluttery feeling, the question is can pvc's feel different sometimes? Also before I started taking my medication, 37.5 mg. coreg, 25mg. lopressor, accupril, and lasix, I didn't feel any type of sensations in my chest like this, the reason I went to the doctor was for flu like symptoms, why after taking the medication would I feel this, it's been going for almost two years now. Is there any other beta blocker that might be better at calming the pvc's that I might ask my cardiologist about. My resting heart rate is still about 80? I apologize for the length of these questions.

Yes PVCs can feel different from time to time. The dose of beta blocker could be increased by your doctor - that might help with the PVCs. I am not sure why you are on both Coreg and Lopressor, as both have beta blocker properties, and it is unusual to prescribe both simultaneously.
