The differing QUALITY of palpitation sensations

Posted By SherryB on June 18, 1999 at 16:44:43
I've posted questions in the past and thank you for your helpful answers. To recap: I've had palpitations that have TERRIFIED me sometimes, and simply annoyed me on others.  I have had numerous stress tests, echos, and holters.. the last one for a month in l995...the only thing ever discovered was that i do have pacs and pvcs, including some "runs" of pvcs but my doctor insists that there is nothign life threatening going on and nothing to worry about.

My question:  Why do palpitations VARY so much in terms of sensation.. at least for me?

I have the hard "thumps" sometimes ( rareLy) , other times a fluttery feeling, other times it feels like my heart is beating normally but irregularly and,yes, when i take my pulse that's what is, briefly happening. sometimes it feels as though my heart just stops for a moment, or sort of "drops" and I have what I guess you could call an "all out" feeling.. momentary, very momentary, weakness.. just a second or two. it sares me so much, no matter what i've been told.. in those few seconds, i feel like I am, for sure, going to pass out and die.

Today, I've had an awful headache and also some brief "quivery" kind of palpitations.. just for a few  seconds my heart seems to "quiver".. and i feel momentarily weak and terrified.

Do the different sensations correlate with  dangerous arhymias at all?

Thanks.
