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.

As someone who also struggles with these, I feel your pain, especially when it comes to medical equipment. My heart also refuses to play nice around actual medical equipment and is on its best behavior but as soon as I’m home? Boom all bets are off and it goes back to its old little shit of a self. Every single test comes back normal and even the week long stint with the Zio Patch came back normal.

But yes, that is a pvc as others have said. I’ve finally been able to catch quite a few on mine, about 6 or 7 ecg’s worth. Apple Watch isn’t a medical device but the data is worth something for the doctor. Best of luck to you
