can someone please tell me

I was just about to lay down when for aabout 2 seconds I felt like a bunch of balls all in a row rolled in the lower part of my chest. If I had an episode of vtach or a-fib or a run of pvcs, will my neck pulse feel different? Please someone let me know. Thankyou

I dont experience my Vtach like that, and I didn't experience my WPW like that. The main thing I notice with Vtach is my heart racing and feeling slightly whoozy. With my WPW, it I could feel unusual pressure waves in my neck (without placing my hand there) and it felt as if the blood was draining out of my head.

I have a relative who gets spasms in her lower esophagus, and has some type of hernia in there.

Hope you get to the bottom of this one. (I know its frustrating sometimes).

Its so hard to explain. Right below the center of your chest where that little indentation is all I can say is it felt like a row of balls in a perfect line, rolled one right after the other in a perfect line and super fast. So my questions to you are
1. When you have a a run of pvcs or vtachy, and you feel your pulse, would it feel    
    normal with of course the normal pause mixed in or would I feel a fast rate?
2.Since I read on here many posts by the cardiologist that most would not do ablation
   for 4,000 pvcs a day, does it change things when you have runs of pvcs?
On my 72 hour holter and 30 day event there were no runs, and of course I did not have that thing happen that happened last night. The ep said where they listed a possble 3 beat run, he said he saw none. Thank you cindy.

If it was V Tach my friend it can be silent or not...usually not so identifiable....now a fib you would know it in a New York minute because if you had to catch one anywhere on your body w. your fingertips it would be like tossing that ping pong ball into the little jars w. the goldfish in them and getting one every time pretty tough to do.....as far as PVC's go...yep that one would be easier.....i don't understand this thing with the balls rolling in the lower part of your chest tho...it really doesn't sound heart related to me....
