Question about my new BFFs...PVCs

[Nurse2b1982]

Quick question guys! I hope everyone is doing okay BTW!
When I have my usual PVCs lately I have been getting a feeling of "losing my breath" with every one of them(I used to only feel this every once in a while) Does this feeling hold any kind of medical significance? It has been quite distressing(especially when I am getting them non-stop, I feel like I can't catch my breath).
Thanks All!!!

Btw.....I have had ALL the usual tests and been told that these are benign. Holter showed 4000 PVCs, 600 couplets, 9 triplets.

It did...for now....you know how that goes, it is still distressing when they hit!

that's great to know - and hopefully put your mind at ease

I was told not to worry about the shortness of breath....apparantly it is really common with PVCs, especially like mine when I am having a lot. He said it could be d/t the bigeminy, couplets, etc. He switched my Beta Blocker to see if that will cut them down some.

Will do:)

You are probably tired of reading my typical repsonse to this type of a question.....I think it's one of those things you'd have to catch on an EKG at the same time you experience the SOB (short of breath).  There's some pun in there somewhere.... anyways...

Once in a great while, I get this really quick feeling of SOB.  The only things I could think of is perhaps a valve misbehaving, but it happens so quick I don't think it could have that effect.

I haven't come across any info that talks about medical significance of *benign* PVCs and SOB, hopefully someone that knows more about it will be able to enlighten us.
