PAC sending extremely fast impulses

[frs87]

Since I had a successfully Atrial Flutter ablation, I kept having PACs at the very moment I'm laying down on my bed. Sometimes they come in bigeminism, but according to my doctor this ir pretty common because laying down stretches pulmonary veins and stuff and etc. I don't remember exactly what happens, but it is normal and not dangerous.

However, yesterday I felt something more than bigeminism; my heart just pumped extremely fast for about five seconds, I think it was a PSVT. My question is: is it possible a PAC to originate many impulses one after another so a PSVT is triggered?

I know PACs can trigger an arrhythmia if you already have a pre-existing anomaly pathway in your electrical system. But what I'm asking is: even if you DON'T have such pathway, is it possible to have a "PSVT" because of a PAC happening -- let's say -- "faster" than a bigeminism?

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOLTER MONITOR AND AN EVENT MONITOR FOR PACS?

PACs trigger PSVT for me, but I clearly have that circuit.  I don't believe PACs can trigger PSVT in a person without the wrong wiring, however, it is possible to have multiple (or a run of) PACs.

i just wore a holter for 24 hrs i had over 3000 pac only 127 pvc, my cardio told me they are not a problem they are the least to worry about . i have the same thing like you but i think it feels like my heart is stuck like a record keeps doing same thing over and over . mine does it about 7-8 beats in a row, got it on holter dr said no big deal. so try not to worry. so i guess you have worn a montor and they said yours was pac to. mine are fast like yours to. keep head up and just know if you have been checked out and dr says just pac your good to go no problems.
