My cardiologist says that PACs are less significant than PVCs. I know that I have read somewhere on the web and I am sorry that I can't tell you where that a run of PACs can feel like a flutter. That is what I feel alot and on monitors I am mostly recorded with PACs.

These things really stink. I understand where you are coming from. Mine were pretty quiet for awhile but for the last month I am having ALOT of them everyday. I few through out the day I can ignore pretty well. However when they come continually for hours on end, day after day, they wear me down!

I have never tried beta blockers but I sure understand why people would give it a go. For me, I seem to have more at a slower heart rate. So I am afraid that beta blockers would just make them worse in my case and I say, "No, Thank YOU" to that!

My cardiologist says PACs are preferred.  ALL people have them and they're meaningless and harmless.  Annoying, definitely, not not harmful.
