Premature ventricular contractions, PVCs, are premature heartbeats originating in one of the lower chambers of the heart, the ventricles.
PVCs can result from a variety of factors and conditions, including:
- consumption of alcohol, caffeine, tobacco or drugs
- certain medications
- physical exercise, stress, or anything that increases adrenaline levels
- certain electrolyte deficiencies
- and damaged cardiac tissue caused by other heart diseases.
PVCs are very common, but often produce no or few symptoms. When present, symptoms may include skipped heart beats, palpitations, and lightheadedness.
In normal conduction, electrical impulses start in the SA node, depolarize the atria, then pass through the AV node to activate the ventricles. A PVC happens when the ventricles are activated prematurely, by an abnormal firing site, called ectopic site, located in one of the ventricles. Because ventricular depolarization does not come from the atria, PVC complexes are not preceded by P waves. Unlike the normal conduction carried out by specialized cells of the conduction pathway, the signal in PVC is conducted through the myocytes of the heart muscle, and propagates more slowly, producing a broader QRS complex. Depending on the location of the ectopic site, the resulting QRS complex may also be taller, or deeper than usual. PVCs typically do not conduct back to the atria, so SA node firing is usually not affected, and PP intervals remain unchanged. But the P wave that follows a PVC may not result in a beat if it happens too closely to the PVC, when the ventricles are still in their refractory period. This is referred to as a compensatory pause.
There are 3 mechanisms by which a PVC may occur:
- Increased automaticity. The ability of ventricular myocytes to spontaneously depolarize and generate action potentials is associated with intracellular calcium overload caused by excess catecholamines, drugs such as digoxin, and certain electrolyte deficiencies, such as hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia.
- Re-entry circuit in a ventricle. This usually happens when there is a damage to the heart muscle, such as a scar from a previous heart attack, or other heart conditions. The damaged tissue conducts at a slower speed, causing the electrical signal to go around it, creating a self-perpetuating loop.
- Triggered beats. These are extra-beats produced by early or delayed after-depolarizations. Early after-depolarization may occur when the duration of action potentials is abnormally long, in conditions such as long QT syndrome, hypokalemia, or as an effect of drugs such as potassium channel blockers. Delayed after-depolarizations can be caused by digoxin toxicity or excess catecholamines.
Most people do not need treatment for PVC itself, but the underlying factor or condition must be addressed.

Just got out the ER this morning with this. First time experiencing them, do not like at all. Prayers to everyone experiencing them. 🙏🏾
I just got home from the hospital too.
Same thing.
Same here yesterday!
What did they tell you?? Did you go back home normal??
I have had 3 in a row, almost taking my breath away, I really feel them
how old are you? I'm 25 and it seems they have increased compared to when i was younger, back then i didn't even know what that was.
These go away people ! You need to take note of what you are eating! It's the heavy metals in foods that cause an electrolyte imbalance! For me , I narrowed it down, it was seafood such as albacore tuna (mercury) and green bell peppers (pesticides). Once I cut that out I noticed a drastic decline. There are also foods that help -cilantro (helps remove heavy metals) and 100% coconut juice (electrolytes). And lastly, what I noticed really, really helped was jogging for about 5 min daily on treadmill, set my rhythm back to normal. Try what I just mentioned for about 2-3 weeks and again, take note of what you are consuming. Hope this helps anyone dealing with this!
Thank you for sharing your information, I have PVCs a lot, I have ischemic heart disease, systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Impaired relaxation as well, dilated cardiomyopathy. I share your videos as much as I can they’re really good. Thank you again!
Thank you and i hope you are getting good treatments for your conditions! Take care!
Alila Medical Media yes I am for sure! Thank you!
How are you doing now
I get these randomly and feel it along with my lower throat area. It's painless but it's just strange feeling a random fast heartbeat along my lower heart. Thanks for the vid.
Did you see a doctor bro?
Me too
How are you now ?
@@sirwanmusic
Good bro. PVCs are benign i hear

@@Bromocriptine777abhi kaise hai ap... Mujhe bhi same problm hai... Koi treatment liya kya apne
I’ve been told I have these and on a recent sleep study I had quite a few. Going to the cardiologist before starting stimulants. I don’t think I’ve ever “felt” it, though I always attributed my light headed episodes with my low blood pressure.
It is sooo hard living like this, mentally is very difficult, i know i have to live with this buts is very scary and frustrating 😕
im having it right now.. 😔
it ruined my life
It's ruining my life but ignoring them and enjoying life usually helps
Meeeeeee
Girl you and me both, its really impacting my life i feel like I’m going to die spontaneously all the time. Pvc’s are no fun and pretty much ruin your life. I hope theres more research on these and they can find a cure.
This is literally the best ecg interpretation of what types of pvcs are. Especially their site of origins if the qrs is high or low high means right ventricular and low wave means left ventricles. It's a sample but at least when you see a pvc, you have a general idea where it might be. I think that pvcs should be taken seriously by drs. I had pvcs that started to develop slowly. Healthy, normal, no anxiety and gets plenty of rest and fit. It was benign but kept returning each year to see my dr and after several visits to the ER, my pvcs were actually caused by one single site origin and was potentially causing right ventricular problems. I was nominated to get medicated but didn't work. So I got nominated to do an ablation and it was textbook - they got it and I no longer have pvcs! Well, here and there but I was getting 1000 a day and though mine benign, the ecg showed something of concern and turns out I had an over active myocite.
How old were you when this all happened
did you experience chest discomfort? like chest heaviness, uneasiness?
I a having 10000 pvc a day and i am doing ablation the next week.
I used to get these all the time. They felt really intense, like a quick little kick or jolt in my chest. It would force me to take a deep breath in. They were so scary. My cardiologist prescribed me Carvedilol and I rarely ever get them anymore. Maybe 1 or 2 a month if that and they are very light feeling. I'm so grateful for that medication helping me because these palpitations were disrupting my life and I was in fear all the time. I'm SO grateful.
try magnesium,
On carveidilol as well, I'm on 3.25mg. I haven't felt them as I have these past 5 days. I've been getting them so much. The most I counted was 7 in one hour. I think my cardiologist is going to have to up my dosage of carveidilol😕.
Thank you, easy to follow and understand!
I'm having these PVCs constantly every day. Every couple seconds of the day. Just got home from the ER cause of it. Also it's causing severe tiredness, weakness and pain across my chest! I'm only 36 years old.
What did they tell you at the hospital? I’m getting them every 10 beats or so for the last 7 days. Can’t get appointment until next week.
I just left the ER. I drink a lot which won't help. I feel my heart beat that I can feel through my body and palpatations every 5 minutes unless im resting....I hope I can get this to go away.....i think anger triggers them.
@@ericaangela1 well they put me on a zio patch for a week. Just sent it to the cardiology department. Not gonna know the results, but the doc at the er said it's an extra heartbeat after most beats. I get dizzy spells too now and often. Wishing you good health and joy!
@@eriparlin754 yeah anything that gets the blood pumping faster will cause those symptoms unfortunately
Started aug 26 after having alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine in one night (after a long time abstaining) haven’t had any coffee/cigarettes since. Still having them (supraventricular extrasystoles) constantly. Doc said it’s extra heartbeats and that I will be fine just have to live with them. He said I can go back to running ( I ran 20 miles a week before this), even though I sometimes feel a sharp pain or pressure. I just hope they will go away. I’m 36 too.
Terimakasih informasi yang sangat bermanfaat untuk saya orang awam🙏
Thanks for nice and understandable method of teaching
This is awesome
Suffering PVCs because I was a chronic alcoholic for 6 months.Thank God my heart is healthy.Had EKG done,normal.Terrible withdrawal + anxiety ..Cardiac enzyme test normal,so no heart attack.Plus X-ray confirmed my heart is not enlarged as I thought.I'm just depending on God to heal me from this,as it is at times scary and unbearable.
Hows it love,do u still drink
How are you doing? Do you still have pvcs?
How r u right now?
Make sense why I was getting some right now and after drinking for weeks straight and then stopping
Awesome. Please do a video on left anterior fascicular block on ECG video
you made it easy
unbelievable! ı never thougt that ı could understand thıs well.. I'm really grateful
After a heart attack 34 years ago I developed a bad case of PVCs. About 17,000 per day. Went on quinidine gluconate and it went down to two per day. Still no problems in the past 34 years. Cardiologist said quinidine gluconate was obsolete but was amazed it works so well for me. If it works so well why change?
How Long did you take Your medicine before it started working?
Just a few days.@@nichsrensen9547
Because they can’t patent it and that means they can’t make money from it. They want you on beta blockers which will ultimately cause you more issues that they can treat.
Update October 2023: I wore a Holter Moniter for two weeks. Halfway through I stopped all meds. Can you believe all my PVCs had gone away? Not taking anything now and for some reason my heart cured itself. No PVCs. No tachycardia. Ejection fraction normal and BP is also normal. Cardiologist says I have the heart of a much younger man now. Go figure. I attribute it to a lifetime of mountain biking.
@@randyrogers8568 I hope they stay gone. Mine have stopped for weeks at a time, only to come back. Now, I can’t get them to be gone at all. Guess I’m going to the mountain bike store tomorrow. 🤷♂️
Hi I’m a little confused when you mention P to P intervals remain unchanged
I don’t see the T wave mention here isn’t the compensatory pause the T wave ?
Thank you a lot❤ helpful video in study.❤
excellent
I have had these pvcs for 2 years now and they are annoying and even scary at times. I don't wish this on my worst enemy.
I am also a Rican Taino with PVCs lol. Maybe it’s something genetic.
@@Thisaintnodiscor, I don't think so. None of my family members have had pvcs. I think it may be due to some prescription medication long term side effects. We take for granted how bad being on medications can be in the long term. It fixes one thing temporarily but could very well create 2 added health problems or even more.
spot on i have them since my 20s i am 58 now
@@corkion, wow! Sorry to read that. I had atrial fibrillation in my 20's too and went away, only to develop into other issues such as pvcs and a few others. You've certainly gone through years of this so i feel for you.
I don't think so medication will cause a long term effect,maybe they can happened many year but due to some illness they become more frequent,i know medication do causes pvcs but generally they tends to go after stopping these medication.
I am male 56 years old. had heart attack three years ago..underwent angioplasty and a stent is placed in one of my arteries. I am doing good. but was taking 30 ml of brandy everywhere just to keep me warm. Now after completion of three years i went for echo cardio gram and diagnosed with few PVCs. ECG also showes slight missing beats...showed cardiologist..he asked me to do tread mill test which i did fine. So he said to stop even that small amounts of alcohol and come after a year...i feel okay...initially when i stopped alcohol had terrible chest tightness due to withdrawal. but just within a week i am fine. i do walk for 35 minutes at moderate speed in the mornings. and do yoga for 30 minutes in the evening...I have two tablets aspirin
Started to get them 2.5 years ago. After months of nothing, it came back.
I get them too. Since the age of 17. Im 64 now. My ones give me a pain in the heart area. After the pvc i feel tired for hours. I get them more after practicing sport. Done echos,holter mri and so on, doctor said no worries however i do worry. Im going through a bad patch right now and its been a week of pvc about 10 to 20 a day.
Eat lots greens .
Do keto diet
Stay hydrated.
Exercise
@@johneastwood4852 I will try your suggestion. Thanks
10 to 20 a day. Try 10 a minute 24 hours a day.
@@luckyflames1897 I really am sorry for you, it must be terrible to deal with it. You can't really get used to these fuk.. ers , every time you get one is like the first time, always scary always thinking what if this one is the final blow. Even though my ones are much much less than what you get i noticed they feel different than before, they are more aggressive, more persistent definitely PVCs, i get a gap of like 2 seconds followed by a huge jump. Very scary but cardiologist not too concerned.
@@nerowolf6623 we're all in this together
Awesome video ! Thank you :)
The suspense of the compensatory pause though... yikes.
Yep. I have symptomatic PVCs and that compensatory pause is uncomfortable to say the least. It gives you a little preview of what it might feel like if you’re heart actually stopped. Not a fan.
Totally. I hate that feeling like my heart is stopped. Bloody uncomfortable business.
I got a kidney transplant in 2001.
Best wishes to everyone that experiences this.❤️
@@luluseatowngetdown6251 I am going through this and am getting multiple ones a day. Living with this is Hell.
@@reynaldameza370 You’re not alone. I started having these in Aug 2020. They went away for a month or so then came back and I still have them every day pretty much all day long. Had an Echocardiogram that showed my heart was normal, and an EKG which oddly enough my PVCs didn’t happen during the EKG. I think mine are due to stress and anxiety but also gets much worse after a meal or laying down to sleep. I hear many people have these often and just try to live with them. It pretty much consumes my thoughts and exaggerates any anxiety I have. Going to ask my doctor to connect me with a cardiologist and maybe get a holter monitor.
@@R6Jordan Im sorry to hear this, i wish there was more treatment options and research on PvC’s. Living with this condition is not living, even though we try to ignore or be calm during and after a Pvc its doesn’t help. Who can ignore the feeling of of your heart skipping or fluttering? It is debilitating. I hope your really get the help you need. Good luck with the holter. I found magnesium helpful.
Nice
I think I sometimes have these, never caught one on EKG because they're not that regular, and luckily they don't do anything bad other than making my chest feel weird for a few seconds... A bit scary when they happen, though
same
It can be easily detected on a Holter device.
Yes, they don’t hurt just distressing.
A Holter monitor caught mine.
Yes such a discomfort feeling
Hello havent u made a video on ventricullar tachycardia yet?
Good.😊
Good
I am 15 year old guy who had pvc's like month and a half ago, I was getting them like every 3 minutes, I went to the cardiologist and he said my heart is healthy and that there shouldnt be a reason to worry, I am sick now, had fever, I was coughing a lot and blowing my nose too, and PVC's didnt "came" back, I just had a few of this extra beats, but I think thats because if this cold, is everything normal with me?
You might want to ask your Dr. About taking magnesium. Hi ops you are feeling better?
Im here because i started having pvcs 3 weeks ago. It freaks me out because its happening the whole day and gets worst at night when im lying on my bed or when i eat and drink just anything. Ive got this choking feeling when the worst of my episodes happen. I even blacked put once when i panicked. Im so worried about my condition.
we all went through this phase when we started having them frequently, it will resolve and you will know why it happens and how to avoid the things that can trigger them. my only advice to you is to check with your Dr if there's nothing to worry about then do whatever it takes to lower your stress hormones and anxiety levels, believe it or not, the majority of PVCs happen because of anxiety and stress. having them while eating or lying down has nothing to do with the action itself it's just because you are too stressed and on the edge to the point that your heart beats faster after eating instead of beating slower which is a sign of anxity .
Do you have fast heart rate with it?
@@winniekyn6162 it could happen for both fast and normal heart rates, if you have palpitations (that's when you feel your heart beats fast or pounding) it only means that you are already exposed to a trigger and your heart is now irritated and so PVCs may start happening.

@@winniekyn6162 yes,
I been getting these since 2019. Started out once a month or so that I felt like a sinking feeling or adrenaline "nervous" in my gut. Started exercising more seem to suppressed them. Most recently I been getting them while walking exercise not 100% sure if I am or my mind is tricking me cause I get that nervous feeling in my gut for a split second and it goes away. I recently had them back to back while unloading my car was scary, and went to the ER. They found nothing. Going to get with my GP this week and get him to follow up with my cardiologist. These things are super scary and affect quality of life.
how are you doing now?
The sinking feeling and nervous in the gut is the exact same thing that’s happening to me. I’ve had this for years and don’t bother it but recently it becomes frequent.
This is how I get them too, how u been feeling now?
my PVCs werent caught with EKG/ECG. To diagnose them you need to wear a "24-hr holter". Thats how my cardiologist caught mine to diagnose it. Although I already knew I had it.
Just got diagnosed with PVCs after wearing 24hr holter monitor. Mine got worse this year just right after getting diagnosed by Hyperthyroidism. Although Ive felt having arrhythmias since I was a teenager. But I would feel it like once or twice a year. Now Im 31yo. Hyperthyroidism basically gives my heart tachycardia or fast heartbeats. Im taking bisoprolol (beta blocker) to lessen my tachycardia but it hasnt helped with my PVCs. I might start taking magnesium and see if I improve.
I was wondering about Delta waves on PVCs. If you can only see them during an ectopic beat, what would that mean?
Good 😮😮
What is the deciding difference between this condition and AFIB?
Can a lot of PVCs make a stress test abnormal?
I have 30 pvcs daily which I only feel once in a while really lightly , started taking melatonin 5mg daily to sleep and my pvcs got WAY WORSE, 200 a day feeling nearly all of them extremely scary , holter and ecg normal , stopped melatonin pvcs got back to normal range , thank god , there is a connection prob my trigger
@P P 2 days , took melatonin again pvcs came back , stopped melatonin pvcs subsided . Def a connection never had them again since a stopped melatonin thank god
@P P hope yours stops I know how scary pvcs feel and how it ruins your life quality.
I know it’s kind of the different but I was taking vitamin D up to 8,000 Iu a couple of times, 4000 for about 3 weeks maybe 4 and I’ve had heart palpitations since, flutters etc that beat up in to my neck, about 4 on a bad day and way more when I’m doing cardio. Never had them in my life before!
I’ve stopped the vitamin D and I’m still getting them, scarily I didn’t know it’s a pretty crazy hormone and it also increases the uptake of calcium and I happened to be keto and consuming a shit tonne of dairy, goats cheese, cottage cheese all day, also it’s the easiest thing for me to digest having gut issues.
I now know if you don’t take vitamin K2 with vitamin D that in rare cases it can cause too much calcium in the blood, even calcium in the heart! Calcification ain’t good! And palpitations are inevitable!
I really feel like it’s connected, never had them before taking vitamin D and that’s the only thing I’ve added to my inventory.
Been about 5 days since quitting the vitamin D and I’m still getting them but now I’m anxious too which isn’t helping.
Hoping I have the success you had by simply removing it. My only guess is that it’s stored in my fat and is still being used and isn’t out of my system, plus I may have to get my calcium down.
If not, guess it’s a trip to the cardiologist. This shit sucks.

@@starlinecustoms try taking some betablockers just to calm things down , see if it helps
@P P did you get better ?
I started to get these after theJ&J vaccine.
I get them from time to time,but I have anxiety disorder so they tell me is likely trigger by my anxiety,but I've had the palpitations and skip beatings for more than 8 hours now its scary and uncomfortable,not in pain nor dizzy. So I dont know if I should go to the hospital or what...I can feel my palpitations on my throat and upper stomach it just feels so weird when it stops/skips a beat or two
How u feeling now
@@-STRIKE-mq1id I haven't had them as bad as last time,only for a few minutes at a time every other day. I'm trying my best to stay calm but with 3 kids going back to school its almost impossible. Thanks for asking
I have similiar symptoms except my “skipped” or “hard” heartbeat happens every now and again. I too have anxiety and the RN prescribed me with Klonopin. I do not believe in western medication but non the less I have the tabs. Try not to drink a stimulant like coffee, energy drinks or cokes. Try also deep breathing techniques if you have no other breathing issues. I find Reichian Therapy very effective. Learn about your subconscious mind if possible. This is what controls your autonomic nervous system and other vital organs. Learn to impress your subconscious and it will soothe. Be patient in healing yourself, you’ve been under stress all of your life so this will take some time. Hope this helps.
I did an ECG and they found this incidentally, I must've had them for years without realizing it
I think I finally figured out what’s been going on I’m 24 healthy good heart rate and blood pressure. Sometimes I can feel it in my neck, like my heart stops or skips a beat. I’ve had my blood pressure device a few times before catch. As an irregular heartbeat happens most of the time. If I’m having caffeine, I was going to go to the doctor but because I don’t have any other symptoms and good blood pressure I’ll just keep an eye on it.
How is it going so far, buddy? I think i have It. I gotta take an exam to be sure.
@@emersonreflex4412 hey so I did multiple different things they found nothing it was a very short EKG so not super good but my stuff comes and goes that’s not consistent and everything else blood test and heart size and everything was very healthy. I think I just need to learn not to worry about it. lol
You show different morphology of the PVC depending on the location of the ectopic site. Which lead are you referencing? V1 or V6?
When not specified, it usually means lead II, because it is in the direction of the cardiac axis.
Alila Medical Media Usually a cardiologist looks first at the II lead, am I right ?
@@simsim5265 Yes. When the lead names are not mentioned, they are always referring to Lead II
I have been having these the last month or two and they are very noticeable and freak me out. I have been to the cardiologist and wore a monitor for a week and they said my heart is ok and it’s normal to have these sometimes. I honestly think mine started after I had COVID and I strongly believe mine are COVID related. COVID can have so many effects on your body after you recover and many people will have new health issues later on, and I think this is happening to me.
With that said I also suffer from anxiety and panic and I have tons of stress lately so maybe that is also making the pvcs worse.
Anyone else that can relate?
I'm also wondering if Covid caused my random heart issues. Started out as PVC/PACs for about a week, cut all caffeine, alcohol and lowered nicotine use, still had them but not as bad. I caught a cold, took Niquil and had an Afib episode. Woke up to my heart beating at 200bpm, went to the ER and had to get a cardioversion. Never had heart issues before this, I'm 33, I'm like 99% convinced Covid caused my issues.
it was because from vaccined,
@@laurynl2416 sorry you went through all that I also think it’s all post covid stuff
Mine started 10 days post having COVID. Had a full cardiac work-up doc said all is well. And that these are "normal" but they still suck. I'll go days without them and then I'll have a few bad days in a row then gone again.
@@abingham3747 take magnesium it will help you
So what does the ablation procedure do to these pvcs I heard it’s very successful in some people they have never felt them again ?
Ablation of pvcs is considered very difficult and complex to perform with success. I have been told this by specialist for heart rhythm and should be done only in severe cases of pvcs.
I have about 12 to 16 pvcs a minute, it’s about 22,000 a day.
No symptoms with them but should I be concerned about cardiomyopathy?
I get them every 3rd beat or so, constantly through out the day with no obvious triggers. Its like it has a mind of its own & starts when it wants to
You should consider taking beta blockers or propafenon. It's to many for one day.
I have these. They’re odd feeling. I received a bunch of dif tests and nothing really showed up aside from the pvc’s, themselves. I do have a tendency to have a slightly low potassium level, and I do have anxiety- so the extra adrenaline combined with the hypokalemia could def be what causes mine
@@frecklefingers do you still have them
I have anxiety and it’s been worse since I’ve had these feelings couple of days ago. I went to the doctor today and I do have pvcs so now I’m more anxious I no they aren’t dangerous or life threatening but it’s still scary to feel it
beta blockers can help by reducing adrenaline reaching your heart
@@privateaccount2686 how are you now?
@@fahmi2141 I’m better now I still feel them from time to time but I’ve know what causes them and how to control them. My doctor recommended putting me on medication but it slows my heart rate and he said my heart rate was already to low since it’s in the 30’s sometimes so no caffeine for me.
The ones I have do come with pain and I am medicated with a Betha blocker. I have very low pressure. It's so uncomfortable
My heart occasionally drops in my chest with a fluttering feeling but I haven't even reached out to a doctor....
How are you now?
i use merol 50 mg two times a day to cure PVCs...is it safe for me?
Got these after pf vac Smdh
Hi! I have PVC too, its frequent and my cardiologist prescribed Angiozem, unfortunately it didnt go away. Now im on Amiodarone but it has side effects, i feel fatigue difficulty in breathing, feverish and dizziness, but its only been 2 days on that so i dont know if these side effects will go away..Anybody tried amiodarone?
How are you now
I did! But already stop consuming it now. I take bisoprolol currently
I do, they typically have those symptoms in the first few days, then they relax and your body gets used to them. I'm way better now with less pvcs. But I talked to my doctor and she told me to reduce the intake, so if the symptoms bother you definitely talk to your doctor first!
do not take that!!! They gave that to my dad who had congestive heart failure as a last resort!! get a second opinion!!
My doctor prescribed me metoprolol for 2 weeks I didn’t have any of them and I would have like 40 pvcs per day now I only get maybe 2 pvcs per day or 3 some days I won’t even have any at all
Supposedly you can get an ablation and fix PVC’s forever. I talked to a guy who had one done and he said it was the best decision of his life. Hasn’t had one in 3 years since the procedure.
Mine disappear if I stay out of the gym for a few weeks and just live an inactive life. As soon as I hit the gym for a couple of weeks they return. A couple beats or "gulps" as I call them per 3 minutes or so. Sometimes they stop for an hr but they are always there randomly if I stay active in the gym. Why are so many having this issue?
i have pvc cause i always feel it the days when i lie down, sit and last run and i have something in my front throat, i think it stems from my throat probably
try magnesium
How are you doing? Any changes?
How are you?.same feeling here
Can I still get tattoos with this issue ?
Oh hey I have this.
Sometimes it makes my heart beat oddly and then I pass out for a good ten minutes. Kind of scary but I’m used to it
Me too!
bruh fucking visit a doctor
passing out isn't normal at all and may signal something much more dangerous than just PVCs, for example ventricular tachycardia which could cause sudden death (which is shown by "heart beat oddly")

i get these all the time! to me, they feel like my heart beats twice. i sometimes get episodes of them, which can start at random and stop at random. i can have up to 20 per episode.
i've gotten a holter monitor, ultrasound and treadmill stress test. all came back normal, with the holter showing rare Atrial contractions (another type of palpitation i think?) & PVC's. i think my SSRI medication seems to be causing it, as it only started about 8 months ago when i started taking SSRI's. reaalllly hoping for some relief somewhere, i know they're benign, but my anxiety convinces me that i'm dying :( ty for the video!
I think either you are a doctor or have lot of medical knowledge, can you please explain how you feel when you have those episodes, and what medicine you use, I have very uneasy heart situation, but can't explain to my doctor
@@ColBalooch hi! i'm just a teenager, i'm not a doctor hahaha, i do my research though. i was on antidepressants when these started happening (Prozac & Lexapro) and they have stopped happening as frequently, but when they did happen, i sometimes felt faint/nauseous. my doctors think it's my anxiety disorder, since i've had a lot of heart testing done with nothing coming up. it would feel like my heart would stop for a second, and then beat hard after wards.
@@v3lv3lv3lv thanks for your reply, I have a past irregular heartbeat history and have a defibulator installed in my body
@@v3lv3lv3lv that pause and hard beat make you feel real weird?? It does to me in scared
A Girl yeah i get those too :( definitely see your doctor, but i don’t think you’re in immediate danger. one just happened to me now as i was typing this. i have severe anxiety disorder, and that’s the cause of my palpitations
got this after pfizer 😍
same lol
Permanent?
Same here

Went to the cardiologist and found out I have pvc
What did Doctor recommend
What did the doctor recommend?
5 days straight off getting PVC'S. I don't want to feel them no more. The most I've gotten is 7 in the span of one hour. And I'm taking carveidilol, but I'm still getting them 😭. I don't want them
It’s been 3 years I have them every day 1000 extra beat a day I’m so depressed and done with it
Yikes I have this....
I've had these all my life. Typically would get 2-3 a month. Afew years ago I found out I had become severely anemic. My dr. Gave me two iron infusions and it took away the pvc. Unfortunately they came back this month and had 20-30 that I could feel yesterday. Went to the ER. Found out they are none life threatening. I'm wondering though if it's related my iron levels again???
Thats what I'm wondering as well.
I notice I was getting more and more when I could tell my iron levels are super low ! They are horrible !! ☹️
Do PVCs advance to AFIBS?
My Apple Watch shows the deep PVCs always. Does this mean I have heart damage for sure?
The only way to find out is to see a cardiologist. I just started noticing them a couple of months ago and mentioned them to my cardiologist. But I've got other heart problems too. My next appointment is at the end of the month. 🤞🏼
I have 17k pvc’s per day according to my recent ecg 😂
Have you had a echocardiogram?
This can tell if your heart us structural normal. If you have a structural normal heart my cardiologist has told me there benign.
I’ve had simple ecg’s and even one for 24h. I’m supposed to do a mri in a week to see if they can find any structural changes on my heart due to a suspicion that i’ve had myocarditis a year ago.
@@queenm9364 best of luck yo you with your up coming tests.
Pvcs and pacs can be very scary, usually benign though.
Good luck with everything
Michael
@@michaelthau1007 i’m not worried, if it’s something serious they can treat it and i’m young, so 😁
How are you now?
This is a good explanatory video, but the line "the underlying factor or condition must be addressed" is rarely true. The overwhelming majority of PVC causes are benign.
They might be benign, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a reason that brought them on. Everybody has a reason why. That’s the billion dollar question. What happened that is making your electrical system in your heart misfire. It’s not just bad luck. A week before you had your first one, you were fine. What happened to make them start? Figure that out and you can fix them.
ppl with pvcs hv diff causes
Symptoms are fun😒
Is pvc is normal or not
From what Ive researched, it's not really deadly at all unless you're fainting, shortness of breath etc.
Think of it as a muscle twitch. Your heart is a muscle, and while I'm simplifying a bit, it's like your heart is "twitching", comes out of nowhere, happens for a second, makes you take a weird deep breath, and then it's gone.
The video literally said they’re normal...
Adrian thank you for that last sentence. Literally I can’t explain how it makes me feel but that wraps it up! Kinda catches you by surprise. 🤷🏻♀️
Pvcs are normal if they're not frequent. If they're frequent it could be a sign of an underlying issue. If pvcs come all at once and it's fast, it could be an episode of a tachycardia
Yall...talk about suffering
