What does a person feel when they experience a pac, a pvc or tachycardia?
I just rec'd results from wearing an event monitor for a month after an ekg showed atrial fibrillation. The cardiologist said that the ekg was wrong but, since last years ekg showed atrial flutters and since my brother died from some cardiac event and my son survived scd and I have 30 second dizzy spells quite often, he wanted to see what a monitor would show. Well, I pushed the button with most of the dizzy spells and on a few other things, like where my heart was really pounding hard one night however, for the most part, I never feel bad. The results showed no af but did show some premature beats, one tachycardia event and a very low heart rate. I've noticed that the dizzy spells happen about the same time my heart rate drops really fast, like when I sit down, it drops from 58 to 38.
Problem, I failed to ask the cardiologist what my notes said I was doing with the premature beat and the tachycardia so, I don't know what feeling is what. I didn't ask whether the premature beats were atrial or ventricular and I'm really not sure when I had the tachycardia either but am assuming when I was jogging once, I noticed my heart rate bounced from 73 to 226 and then back to the 130 range, where it stayed. I didn't feel anything though.
What does everyone else feel?
