Solar Plexus area is common--tell me that this has no relationship to the vagus nerve and pressure or irritation on it? It seems far more than coincidental.

I don't know the answer to that one. I wouldn't rule out the vegas nerve though.

The correlation between hiatal hernia and GERD, and people who have chronic PVCs seems too great to be coincidental. I have not read any studies on this, and some doctors dismiss it, but others do not.

Happy Birthday Mary! I hope your skips are gone. However, if you weren't feeling a pause or thump, maybe it wasn't your heart!

Thanks everybody, for the birthday wishes. Had a great weekend with my beautiful daughter and family. They really spoiled me, heart co-operated . Spent 9 hours in pouring rain but was worth it to see Becks and Galaxy winning MLS cup. Hope you all had a good weekend.

Happy belated birthday . If it makes you feel better I get flutters all the time I feel better about those than the thuds and pounds. I always thought the flutters were PACs and PVCs were the pounds but I don't know.

Happy Belated Birthday.

I get those weird flutters, they almost feel like a quiver. What a way to start your day. I am ending my day like that, just a few hours ago, I had some similar feelings, I thought about the ER, but decided against it. I would be living there if I went everytime I got scared like this, but some days, they scare me more than others.

Thank you for the responses everybody. Haven't had that sensation again. Get flutters all the time but those were very different. Susie, hope you are feeling better.
