Double Beat - What is it ??

[aussie mum]

So like most of you i have some heart issues (psvt pac pvc etc) but the other day i just happened to be feeling my pulse when i felt what seemed like two quick beats (one after the other) As i'm now sooooooooooo used to feeling that pause with my pulse that this just seemed odd. I feel if i wasn't checking my pulse i wouldn't have felt it at all.

Is this just another harmless type of palpitation ??

Im pretty sure psvt is paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia...and nsvt is non sustained ventricular tachycardia..Definitely two different conditions! After reading your first post you dont have to worry about nsvt:)

Hi hope all is well !! Thanks for you reply, i kind of knew that's what they were but as i've never felt before i was a bit unsure....well i guess that's what i get for once again feeling my pulse LOL !!

Yes i do see a wonderful cardio whom has helped me a lot (reassurance is the best medicine)

BTW i've never ask him so maybe you might know, is psvt & nsvt the same thing ??

Hey there,it sounds like what you had was a  couplet...for sure though to find out ofcourse it would need to be recorded.I get them all the time :( sometimes many many more in a row(nsvt).It is harmless they say in a structurally normal heart.Have you been seeing a cardio?
