I get that just about everytime I take a deep breath. Its like a short spurt of SVT but goes away when I exhale. Try not to freak urself out too much. Its sounding pretty common.

Thanks to everyone who replied. It's nerve wrecking when it happens. But since mine has never been caught on a moniter maybe I'm having normal beats but just can't feel them. The ones I have feel like four PVCs in a row. Not couplets but four skips in a row. 1,2,3,4 then normal rhythm.... But I'm sure I've made myself clear on that multiple times. Dunno why I'm having a hard time with it though tonight. Not getting them but my mind seems consumed with them hurting me. It's silly because it only happened once last night and now I'm up late worried about it.

Last night I could only feel the slower beats with the pauses then back to a faster normal rhythm because I was anxious. Cn you feel it on your neck pulse? If I lay down and check neck pulse I can feel the ectopic beat as well in the pause period sometimes in my neck on its own - its weird!

I noticed that taking a deep breath will bring on the PAC's or PVC's. No fun.

I can sometimes feel the pause in my neck but not all the time. It is nerve wracking....

And Katie, you are fearing VT, that is why its freaking you out. And that fear is understandable but when I had a 6 beat run, I didn't feel "6 PVCs" as the thump is the heart resetting.... I just felt the final BIG thump of the reset. I really think you had regular beats between if you felt them like that.

It was very quick shallow breathing that I took until I could take a deep breath. It only lasted two breaths. Could anyone who knows about either of these reassure me as I looked at VT and it terrified me because all I could see was most are begnin but... And it's that but that scares me.

PVCs and Vtach or Vfib have NO relationship. There is no correlation whatsoever.
