Ectopic Beat while Squatting?

Hey there,

I noticed that I get an ectopic beat (like: normal beat - normal beat - normal beat - huge beat - normal beat normal beat) when I squat down as deep as I can and bend over a bit while exercising.

Does someone experience the same?

I got checked by a cardiologist (ecg, holter (shows 30 to 100 monomorphic and non complex pvc and hundreds of pac), echo and stress test => all ok).

You could be stimulating your vagus nerve which will cause PVCs/PACs. I don't think it's anything to worry about.
