Hey Reddit!,
I’ve always had these “weird” feeling heartbeats that would often take my breathe away. I’ve been to doctors and cardiologists and they never happen (of course) when they do tests like EKGs and doctors always say I’m perfectly fine (even did a echocardiogram).
I finally was feeling them and I think I was able to capture it on my Apple Watch.
Is this what a PVC looks like? Again feel they uncomfortable and makes me short of breath when it happens.
I will definitely be showing it to my doctor as well.
I’ve had what almost exactly what you’re describing. First worked up in my late 20s when I was hospitalized after an accident and the attending physician noticed it happened once on rounds. Same thing: it will happen often for a week or few days then nothing for months. I’m now in my early 50s and nothings changed. I get it worked up every ten years or so but it’s (mine) called Ventricular extrasystoles and is generally benign outside of knows heart disease or defect.
