Question about pvc pause and heart rate

[kyomagi]

So I was wondering if a super slow heart rate, say 61 bpm would cause a pause to last what seems 2-3 seconds. I checked my Bp and it was 115/75 with a bp of 61 a few minutes before the pvcs happened.

I did not feel a pulse for a couple seconds it seemed. I know I had a couple pvc with a beat between them prior to checking my rate.

I got up to move around and no issues at all. No dizziness ect.

My bp a few min after was 122/75 and 71 bp

Try probably the surprise messed with my perception. Plus had it been a true pause and not just a pvc for that long I would have felt dizzy or passed out.

If 1beat is 1second then the pause could be 2seconds but I doubt 3 but could feel like 3 if we are stressing

Forgot to ask. So if my hr was 60 bpm that could mean a pause that would feel 2-3 sec long

Figures as much. I remember posting a similar question in 2012 so I'm not worried

The slower the rate the longer the pause or it is possible you just missed a beat in between.  Considering you didn't have any troubling symptoms like dizziness or passing out you likely have nothing to worry about.  I would say if it starts to happen often then mention it to your doctor but otherwise try not to fret too much.    Take care
