For several years I have noticed times when it feels like my heart just stops for a sec, it just kinda takes my breath away. Then I its like my breath comes back along with tingling sensation in my arms up to head.. then its over. Lately- when this happens it makes me anxious bc it seems stronger- like it takes a little longer for everything to return back to normal. They gave me a heart monitor to wear- but it happens so few and far between that I doubt we will ever catch it. ONE night I did have hours of an "extra"beat every 3rd beat.. wish I would have went to ER to seen what it was- but I didnt feel it was an "emergency"- I was breathing- I felt ok- just this extra beat. I dont know if the two are related... that was my only experience with actually feeling an extra beat- like I said the others times.. it just stops me long enough to take my breath and freak me out. ANY ADVICE what I am experiencing??? Im pretty sure the extra beats was just that- PVCS/PACS.. but what about the heart/breathing sensation?? Is that what just 1 PVC feels like?? I have also been dizzy for several years- but DX with cervical dizziness and Vit D/ Folic Acid Def.
