Pain with PVC/PAC

I was just curious if anyone that has PVC/PAC's have any pain that accompanies them.

I recently posted that I feel my flutters in my lower throat area.  Just had another echo, stress test and a 14 day monitor.  Will get the results of those next week but I am assuming normal otherwise I would have gotten a call if something serious was seen.

I have talked with numerous people who experience palpitations but no one has pain with them.  I get an immediate pain in my left arm when I feel a flutter (in the throat).  It is basically right in the left shoulder and is quite annoying.  Also, my throat will feel tight for quite a while after the incident.  It is hard to let these feelings just pass as I think I can do with the actual palpitation.  It is difficult because I guess we all for the most part can have our own set of symptoms with the palps so I guess I am just looking to see if what I am feeling is normal.  The doc doesn't seem concerned but in actuality, he doesn't tell me it's normal.  Just says that people are different.  ARG!

Does anyone experience actual chest pain/arm pain/discomfort with their palps?  How long does it last??

Thank you all!!!

have you  tried ignoring these symptoms they will become less frequent over time if you do. ive never had the pain when i had palps, you are better not worrying over this and ask for your results from the tests.
Do you get dizzy with theses pains? if you really think something is up then you need to miver the doc

I don't worry so much about the palp feeling anymore as much as the pain from the palp.  I've seen so many posts about the scary feeling of the actual palp but not necessarily the pain after it.  This is where my concern lies and my question as to whether anyone else has this discomfort after the palps.  The doctor says there is no reason for the pain, but yet it is there and does cause concern...... aka anxiety.

Hi, i experience pvcs and got no pain but if i did id go to the doctor to be safe.  My aunts hubby gets very bad panic attacks exactly the same symptoms as a heart attack, pains in the chest radiating down the left arm and in the chest, breathlessness, palps ect.

Everyone experiences them differently from one another.

You sound like you have anxiety now from worrying over the pvcs, you can get palps, chest pain, tightness in the chest and throat that causes us to hyperventilate and that makes us dizzy and lightheaded, if the tests are normal then ignore the pvcs because you will start having panic attacks if you don't, i know this through experience of pvcs.

If there were something up the hospital would have told you, everyone gets the odd flutter i do and think oh my ive got a fib then im like no its not im fine.

good luck

I forgot to mention headaches.  Sometimes I get them after the flutter feeling.  I am not sure if that is palp related or related to the anxiety that the palp causes.
