Had PACs/PVCs all my life. Over 12 years. I've experienced it all, but nobody has really explained those "thuds".
I could be sitting down working away on my computer and out of nowhere I feel the pause, then a huge thud! Sometimes my heart will get all out of sync for about a second and I have felt 2 thuds one after the other in the past.
They say they're not harmful. Anyone who has felt these knows for a fact that it's hard to stay "calm" during an episode. I will tend to bolt upright, and take a breath of air quickly. I then feel a flushed feeling all over my body for a moment. All of this lasts seconds! And then my heart will just return to normal.
I can get about 5 of these a day. Some days non. Some days I get one, a minute later another, and another. Until finally it goes away.
I can deal with the flutters, I just can't deal with the thuds. They scare the crap out of me. Could anyone explain what these are please and why they are felt as a thud?
