went to EP today

Well I went to an actual electrophysiologist today and I LOOOOVED her!! She was very receptive and great to talk to! She explained loooots and showed me last holter results from june and it showed about a dozen different PACs! I always thought I was having PVC's but they were PACs!! huh.. so she is going to have a 30 day holter sent to my house to I will wear that!!! I'm still a little scared in back of my mind... They want me to wear the monitor just cause they feel different now!! Does any one know what three BADOOM BADOOM BADOOM in a row be? I've seen ppl mention NSVT but that scares me too.. I've also seen where it could be a PAC sandwich between to regular beats.. IDK! I haven't had it in over a month tho!!!
Can gas cause a heart skip? I will be going to be and get a feeling from my stomach to my chest then it will skip..

Comments on this post
Susie agrees: Welcome, Ihave those at times, I have been told they are benign, but, they scare me silly. YES, gas can cause these darn things, so can a hiatal hernia. I get that same feeling, like your tummy is dropping.

it is called trigeminy and is EXTREMELY common. Beat, Beat, Beat, SKIP. Repeat that pattern. Absent of heart disease, it is completely normal and very common. I have had that for days on end.

Really? Geez. Mine was 4 in a row and scared me so badly I was on edge for days. Mine was boom boom boom boom then back to regular beat. I can't believe you have that ALOT. Those are the ones that really bother me the most.

i have them a lot. Sometimes just a few times a day, and sometimes thousands. It makes no difference whether one has a few or a few thousand, if the tests are normal, and there is no heart problem causing it. PVCs can really be a nuisance, and the more you think about them, the more you have.
