What Is The Cause Of An Irregular Heart Beat?
I have noticed an increased pause before the compasatory beat with my PVCS. It feels like about two to three seconds before the next beat which is freakin me out! That is my heart not beating, I fear with the lenghtened time waiting for the next beat like it may not start up again. Its a terrible sensation. Has anyone else ever had this happen?
Also, the long pauses are making me feel dizzy and I'm worried I may pass out or faint. Though neither has happened as of yet.
I had good tests in the past. Ekg, holter, echo, stress test. This is VERY scary, I have had lots of PVC's in the past ..they were benign but this new long pause is upsetting.

Hi
Two or three seconds of compensatory pause is quite long.
I would advise you to refer to your doctor and repeat holter.
Wish you good health
