Do ventricular beats produce a weaker or fainter pulse than normal or atrial beats, or not necessarily?
For the past month or so, I have been experiencing severe palpitations during intimate activity. It's gotten so bad that I am thinking about avoiding intimate activity entirely, because I cannot attain orgasm without my heart firing prematurely or breaking into short runs of tachycardia (3-4 beats).
I noticed that when my heart fires prematurely or goes into a short run of tachycardia, the pulse is still palpable on my neck and my wrists. The pulse is not weaker than the normal sinus beats, in fact it is a bit stronger and more forceful. Does that indicate anything? I read that NSVT causes dizziness because of reduced cardiac output, so I assume that the pulse would be weak in NSVT. Does this mean my runs may be supraventricular in nature? Or is the pulse strong simply because the runs are short?
Thank you.
