Just wondering...Flutter?

So do any of you ever feel a flutter for a few seconds then a PVC or hard thump? I had that today and was just wondering if anyone else feels it sometimes. It felt like a butterfly flapping in my chest for 2-3 seconds then a hard beat.

Just curious I felt it a few times before but not often.

I am having a similar problem. It feels like a flutter. When I catch it in my pulse it is actually normal beat, 2 quick beats, then normal beat. I don't feel a pause like I usually do with the PVCs. I'm thinking this is just a PVC and the timing is different. Probably same as yours. Although I would feel better if I felt the thud because I can't figure out why I would just get to fast beats then normal again. It has been going on for a few hours every now and then and I hate it. Were you or have you been able to actually feel your pulse when you feel the butterfly flapping?

No I haven't. I caught me off guard today when I was at work. I have felt the "flip flop" feeling etc before but this was so strange... I will keep an eye on it and it I catch it again I will see if I can catch it in my pulse. I hate the flutter thing. Of course, you know us, we think "double or triple run PVC"etc.... lol....

Yes, the flutter for sure feels different than the PVC.

But I don't think it would be NSVT. Probably just a couplet which isn't NSVT. But I don't want all these back to back couplets either so I hope it is just the timing with the PVCs or PACs.

Don't think the worse....If it makes you feel any better, I felt about 25 of those today. Along with the normal PVC feeling I get.
