Does anyone else feel their pac's in their stomach? I have had these things on and off for 22years and a couple of years ago had and ekg and holter monitor and was told they are benign pac's and pvs'c. Since then I seem to feel them for a couple months at at time and then they go away for weeks or months. I started feeling them again right around new years and most of the time I am feeling the thump in my upper stomach. I am thinking that it may have to do with poor posture and being overweight, but I'm not sure. My sister is nurse (she also battles these things) and she tells me it's nothing-ignore them and they will go away. I am worried that if I am feeling them differently than I used to that maybe something is now wrong. Help!!

Thank you for your post. These palps are so unsettling and sometimes downright scary and it really helps to hear that others deal with them. Sometimes it's just hard to believe that they are really not harmful when they feel so wrong.

I feel them in my chest, stomach, throat, wrist and any old where my head might be looking for them!  I have had them for 30 + years and they feel different at times.  I have felt TONS of different sensations.  I'm still around......Aren't they fun?

I feel mine smack in my chest.  Sometimes I feel a flutter in my throat.  I have a hard thump and it sends a rush all over.  They are sooo scary.

Thanks for your comment. I am usually able to talk myself out of worrying about them (after several years of being a nervous wreck about them). Sometimes it just helps to hear that it's really ok.  Thanks again!

I meant right now, not right not.

I have the kind that I feel in my upper stomach right not.  Up high in the stomach  in between the rib cage.  I hate them.  They feel like a dropped heartbeat.  This happenned about 2 years ago too and I thought they felt different so I had the holter moniter put on. They were pvc's.  I know what you mean about feeling them differently.  It always worries you.  I've had my pvc's increase for a few months now.  I hate them.  I notice them when I sit down and hunch forward or the minute I start eating they start up.  I also had a bunch while lying on a massage table Saturday.  Just being on my stomach after eating really got them going.  It is so hard to ignore them and to believe they won't hurt us.  The fact is, your heart is beating out of sync and THAT in itself doesn't seem natural.   It is nice to have a family member in the medical field to help reassure you.
Take care
