I recently wore a 24hr holter monitor and it revealed 1 PAC.  I was not worried about this at all as my cardiologist said not to worry.  Well of course having the anxiety I do, I googled (bad thing to do always).  It said that PACs can turn into A Fib.  That scared me.  So I was just wondering how many on here have PACs?  Not PVCs.

Ok so I read that most of the time that happens in an unhealthy heart.  That helped to put my mind at ease.  Can someone tell me what PACs feel like to them.

I had a-fib and a-flutter for years, then I had an ablation done in January. Now I get PAC'S and PVC"S. Even thou I can feel them, they don't seem to bother me much.

I have PAC's and PVC's all day long, scattered here and there like rose petals LOL  Haven't had any a-fib yet and I've been arrhythmic all my life.
