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 started getting PVCs a few years ago and they triggered anxiety attacks… thanks to webMD I thought the worst; finally caught them with my watch and went to the doc. He did a 12-lead in the office and sent me in for a Doppler, stress test, and a holter monitor.
Results were unremarkable, ejection fraction was good, occasional PVCs were written off as normal and I was sent on my way.
The PVCs can still feel a little unsettling, but I’ve gotten used to them.
Same. Took magnesium citrate and it fixed it.
