pvc and feeling funny in the chest

Hi every one:)

My  palpitations i have now are more freqent than normal, i have been haveing palpitations every 10 to 15 minutes the last 4 weeks and they are now starting to worry me a little as every time i have a palpitaion i feel really funny in the chest...i cant really explain the feeling,butt maybe my chest feels empty or hollow,or could it be a lack of o2 every time i have a pvc?
Im not sure why this is happening, butt was wondering if anyone out there has the same feeling after a pvc?
SOOOO if theres anyone out there that has the same syptoms i would love to hear from:)

Thanks guys

You very likely have run of the mill ectopics beats either pacs or pvcs but you should really see a doctor to get your heart evaluated to make sure it is healthy. So long as it is then you have nothing to worry about but it is always best to get checked out if you are having symptoms.  Take care and try to not stress too much.  Stress will definitely make them worse.

i do not like this feeling. i dont want to spend so much $ to have it checked out and them say they cant find anything or there is nothing they can do. i have been concentrating on what causes it but it just seems to come from nowhere most of the time. i also have pain on the left side of my chest that i had 4 years before the empty/hollow feelings began a year ago. i have never been to the doctor over either one. i am a smoker but most reviews i have read said that they were non-smokers. i am 21 years old. my worst and longest lasting symptoms happend last night. i felt as though my heart and blood flow stopped and would never start again. in the early stages it was as if someone pulled a knife out of my chest and left a small hole but now it feels like my entire chest and stomach is hollow or dropping. it is a little scary but i usually pray and try to relax and wait it out. but that is hard to do when it lasts 12 hours. it used to go away quickly. i may have heart palpitations but i havent been to the doctor so i dont want to say i do for sure. other online reviews said it may have somthing to do with anxiety. whatever the cause it is more scary than if it hurt, because if it hurt then i would know im still alive.

I know exactly how it feels, it feels like slow motion and emptiness to me. Sometimes i get weak after. ***@****, email mail me if you have any questions.

I think I know just what you are describing as I have them as well. I call it an "empty" feeling and it feels like I am sort of in slow motion during that time. I hate it. I have tried to feel my pulse when it is like that, and it is barely palpable. I also have the kind where it feels like my tummy is "dropping" like when you go fast in an elevator, etc.
