Skipped beat every other beat, help!

[Dottybow]

Hi!

I’m really struggling with frequent ectopic beats/missed beats/PVCs (however you refer to them)

Today I have had some runs of normal beat, ectopic beat, normal beat, ectopic beat. This went on for around 6-8 beats so every other beat felt like it was skipping. It was the most frequent/ close together I’ve ever had them.

Please say someone else has had this pattern before. I know you can have 1000s in a day but it’s every other beat that freaked me out! Really
Hoping someone else has experienced this so we can talk about it.

Thanks!

Have you read the palpitations website article - that may help?

Thank you for the suggestion, I have read it however it doesn’t mention frequency or amount of beats and that’s what’s worrying me.

It did provide me a bit of comfort reading so thank you again

Bigeminy is the name for alternating normal and premature beats. It's the old it's-fine-if-patient-is-otherwise-fine story we're familiar with. I've had it a few times.

The way to think about it sometimes you sneeze once, and sometimes you keep sneezing. An irritated focus on the heart is just the same.
