how many pvc's per day

[sinead]

hi,

I just want to thank everyone out here on this forum.  I have learned a lot & been comforted & relieved by many of your posts...

I am wondering how many PVC's you guys get per day?  
Also, what do they FEEL like to you?

thanx :)

I have some days that I do not get any I feel up to 30 - 40 in a matter of 4 hours. Sometimes I feel a pause followed by a big beat, sometimes 3 or 4 of these in a row. Sometimes it feels like a long pause then my heart does a little flutter, some are just feel like a flutter with no pause, sometimes it feels like it takes my breath away, sometimes I feel them in my throat....I get so many different feelings yet they say they are PVC's or PAC's. I hate it when I 3 or 4 within a few secs of each other and I really hate the nights that I get 30 - 40 in a few hours.....the latter are the ones I absolutely freak out about and they are the ones that take my breath away and I fcan eel them in my throat!

Some days I get none or one or two, other days I get 100 or more.

Some people have thousands per day.  How many are you having?

I'll agree with the post above mine, sometimes zero, sometimes hundreds.  It depends on a variety of factors (sleep, sugar intake, what my esophagus is up to, exercise, etc.)

For me, a PVC feels like a sinking feeling in my chest, a pause, then a fierce THUD.  Unpleasant little buggers.

I can get none (that I notice-it has been documented on a moniter that I get ones that I don't feel) to around 4000 that i definately do.  I can feel a mild bubble in the throat (I only realised these were extra beats when I had one whilst feeling my pulse and noticed a pause, otherwise I just thought it was a little bubble of wind), I can feel my heart 'wriggling', I can feel a hard thump, I can feel a wriggle AND a thump. I can feel a juddering flutter, or a run of uneven hard thumpety bumpety beats (I hate these the most).  I can feel flip flops, a 'turning over' feeling, and a pounding feeling.  All the feelings have been documented as pvcs, pacs or a combination of both on 2 holters.

Oh I forgot to describe what they feel like.

It depends.  Most of the time it's just a sensation of my heartbeat pausing or thudding.  Sometimes it's a fluttery feeling or a feeling of my heart sort of tripping over itself for a second.
