What kind of rhythm does this sound like

Heart rate was 63 but it was going beat beatbeat beat beatbeat beat beatbeat.... No pauses, didn't feel anything in my chest. Just happened to be checking my pulse because I have had a few lightheaded spells while laying down watching TV. I actually had the pulse ox meter on during a strong one and my heart rate was holding at 65 I think it was and then the meter went blank about 2 seconds into the spell.

I have no idea if my comment is going to end up posting twice as I seem to be having errors everytime I try to post but just incase it doesn't...


Thank you much for your response and I was thinking the same but it was really weird. Its sorta difficult to explain but you know how the heart beat has to parts? So it goes lub-dub, lub-dub? Mine was doubling at the second part. It was going lub-dubdub, lub-dubdub, lub-dubdub. Weird??? It lasted a few seconds before going back to the normal lub-dub, lub-dub.

Good news is that I had a loop recorder put in on September 21st and I did use the patient device to mark the ECG. Those will transfer over around midnight tonight and then I suppose if its concerning which I hope it isn't, the dr will call me when he has a chance to review it.

Sounds like either  pvcs or pacs in a bigiminy pattern. No way to really know without a monitor though.

Lub dubdub sounds more like a pvc in bigiminy pattern. Still a benign pattern. Good luck and if you find out what it was let us know.
