Hello all,
I have a quick question for you, I'll try to be brief. My backstory is as follows: Diagnosed with mild LVH and mild HBP which is under control with Irbesartan 75mg. I'm 23 years old, and I exercise and I'm losing weight currently. I try to follow a low sodium diet. My BP is controlled now. I also have stage 1 diastolic dysfunction due to the HBP and my aortic root is dilated mildly. Event monitor patch, stress test and ekgs normal.
So in the past and recently I get this feeling where my heart will suddenly start feeling as if it's quivering or fluttering. This lasts less than 5 seconds and I panic as a result. I've tried to feel my pulse and I feel heartbeats but I don't remember if it was regular or not. My watch picked up the dramatic increase in heart rate (I think due to panic).
So, do you guys feel these butterflies? I honestly don't know if it's afib or a run of PVCs, but from all the research I've gathered most people say a run of PVCs feels strongly palpable (I guess depending on the rate, how much the ventricles can fill?) but this just felt totally irregular so more run of pacs or afib?
Thanks
