Can you feel a PVC while taking your pulse

[BillTheCat]

Can you feel a PVC while taking your pulse (I usually check in the neck)?  I sometimes feel a slight pause in my heart rate (kind of like BEAT...BEAT...BEAT.....BEAT...BEAT) but it isn't a big thud (extra hard beat) and doesn't feel like a skipped beat (meaning if there is 1 second between beats the "pause" isn't 2 seconds more like 1.5).

I have had a holter for 48 hours and they did not pick up any PVC's, or on any ECG or during my echo.  The reason I ask is because I continue to feel "flutters" in my chest and then I quickly check my pulse.  It is almost always beating normally but sometimes an occasional "pause" between betweens which I will sometimes feel even without the flutter in my chest.  Another question, where are the PVC flutters located in the chest?  I get flutters pretty low in my chest like around the end of the rib cage.  Could this all simply be anxiety?

Yes, I feel them too. I also feel my mitral valve prolapse also. I have a MV that I can feel the blood regugitate back at time, and it isn't pleasant. The PVC's I have were detected by Holter and in the Emergenct room. I kept getting faint. It's a terrible feeling. The Tambocor and Atenlol I take usually work, but not always.

Hi
I have over 30,000 pvc's a day and they were all picked up on the holter and ecg's. Yes I can definately feel them when you take my pulse, my friends have all felt them to. You can feel the pauses and thud. The ablation I have recently had has helped improve it, but they are getting more frequent now. I think maybe the flutters you have are anxiety related possibly as the tests you have had would definately pick up the pvc's. Mine come from the RVOT and I also have them in the upper chambers. Hope you feel better soon
