After experiencing PVCs and PACs for months now following a viral infection of my heart last June (which is now gone), my heart threw a new curve ball at me last week: ventricular bigeminy. I was in and out of it for hours and it really scared me. Has anybody else experienced clusters of bigeminy for hours?

I went to the ER and the did an ECG while I was not in bigeminy and my T waves were flat and my QTc interval was slightly longer. They told me not to worry but I am concerned!!! Does anyone know if it's normal for an ECG to show that while being in an out of bigeminy? I am scared it will evolved into Vtach or Vfib...

Thanks

No it won't evolve into anything. If a doctor said it is a benign rhythm, that is what it is. I have bigeminy, trigeminy, and all sorts of variants all the time. My tests are normal, so i forget it!!

You said you went to the ER, but did you follow up with a cardiologist? Have any of your rhythm disturbances been caught on tape?

I have bigenemy but usually only in small clusters but comes and goes. Welcome btw!!
