Just had a Cardiolite Stress and echo

[marikelly]

I don't have results yet, but the tech that did the eco said I was having pvc's every other heart beat, told her I knew that. Is this normal??

[marikelly]

I was getting in my truck and felt the pvc's coming on, it then took my breath away and I felt so tired.

Is this normal??

I get bigeminy (PVCs every other heart beat) all the time.  I think a lot of people get this.  If you are feeling tired with it, you should mention it to your doctor.

Ugh I hate bigeminy.  It's not normal, no, but it isn't a fatal arrhythmia either.  It will need to be controlled with meds if it doesn't self-correct and you stay in bigeminy for extended periods of time.  Your ventricle will be working double time until you resume sinus rhythm.
