What is the meaning of this?

Alright, so today I'm just sitting at the computer, not stressed and not exerting myself, when all of a sudden I get a feeling like my heart leapt up into my throat!  So I do a vagal maneuver by inverting my head and that seems to help.  Problem is, then I start getting crazy amounts of skipped beats.  And that's been going on for hours now!  it's like I notice my heart all the time, and even when I feel my pulse, I don't actually always feel the skips, but it's like I feel them inside...does that even make sense?  I just feel off and it's disconcerting.  And every once in a while I get a WHOOMP, like a hard beat, very nice.

Anything I can take or eat to alleviate this a bit?
Anyone out there experience anything weird like this?  I'd like a little company!

Hi today i had my stress trademill test. Dr. said I have few extra beats and I reached to 198 BPM in my test but while on rest it took a quite a long time to drop down. But he says he is not that concerned and had me schedule after 6 mo. hope it helps. If you have any que jus lemme know..

I have been schedule for stress treadmill test next week..will let you know and i am doing to ask my dr. about this throat in detail. He said it's normal.

i have the same symptoms and it`s frightening ....always happens when i`m relaxed or sitting in front of the computer or something relaxing to me  ....not every day but from time to time ...just that feeling in the throat few seconds and it`s gone and no other symptoms...i went to doctor they say it`s nothing serious ..done all exams ..and nothing to define this situation ..they just say it`s nothing...that is all and this happens to me for 2 years now (when i started my job)so they say it can be from stress or anxiety or high level of adrenalin in blood etc ..so if anyone can tell is that PVC or something different can occur with that symptoms? I sure would like to know :)

I have seen the doctor for this, yes, and of course he was not alarmed by this.  I'm wondering if the heartbeat in the throat is a common symptom, as it is unnerving!

I see from your profile you have been a member of this Rhythm Community for several years.  But, I take it the current condition is new to you.  

Have you ever been diagnosed with a heart Rhythm abnormality?  Here I mean relative to the general population, not relative to the people contributing to this Community.

Not every beat you feel strongly has to be a pvc, it could just be you have become abnormally aware of sensations in your chest.

I used to sit behind the computer and then snack on sugary foods that caused stomach gas, and the stomach gas caused me to have fast heartrate and lots of pvc's.

It's important to know how many pvc's you have per day, so a cardiologist can see if the pvc's require medical treatment or not.
The good news is even if you have a lot of them they won't kill you right away. Some people on this forum have loads of pvc's for long time and they're still around.
