hi, "mom"! Yes, its a normal beat....then another one and one right after it...its so annoying....
Now I just checked and Im back in normal rhythm...
of course..I shouldnt be checking all the time! :-(
One of the drawbacks of working at a computer for 8 hours a day....plenty of time to obsess about the dreaded palpitations....

Thanks for answering me....

Are all of the beats "normal?"  If you are having normal beat, normal beat, pvc, normal beat, normal beat, pvc, normal beat, normal beat, pvc...and so on, that would be trigeminy (a pvc every third beat).

Bigeminy is similar, but there is only one normal beat in between each pvc. It feels like a regular heartbeat, and then kindof a jump, regular, jump, etc
