Breath taking away twice anyone?

I am very familiar with pvcs as some of you know. I have had the ones that flip flop and take your breath away, but today I had one of those and then again another right after it. Has anyone had that happen before? Usually they are few and far between when its those types. Again, its the fluttery ones that take your breath away, one followed by another one.

Thanks Is_
Yes, you know how it is. Months go by and you deal well with the constant things, but then a (new) thing and the fear starts all over again. My guess was it was bigeminy since I have that at times but usually I feel the sensation a different way.
Glad to see the regulars are still here. I am in the midst of a migraine, but will stop by later.

I've given up trying to understand the mystery why different premature beats feels different. I think that's a good idea - try to lose attention to them and how they make you feel. All premature beats (also PACs) can take your breath away. I was once connected to an EKG machine and felt this sensation. It was a PAC.

Maybe you had a short bigeminy run or a couplet? I don't know, but in a healthy heart like yours, it really doesn't matter :)
