I was diagnosed with AF last year. I go into AF for a few hours every 2 months or so. Luckily I trip out of it myself after those couple hours. I also have PACs. I have PACs almost daily.

Do you also have both? Unfortunately I feel my PACs. Im ultra sensitive to my heart. They both have similar feelings but I can clearly distinguish between the 2

Yes I have pacs and Pvcs regularly and I loath them. Unfortunately sometimes they flip me into af and svt so everytime I have them I am on red alert. I had a particularly bad episode of af and svt on Sunday and it was heralded by pacs and Pvcs. I understand your issue. Take care, be well. X

Yes, although my Afib has been under control since my last ablation. If I am unwell or stressed I have a lot of PACs and tachycardia. I guess we’ll always have sensitive hearts.

Everyone gets PAC and pvc , ectopics, whatever you want to call them, the difference is us afibbers feel them

I have ectopics (PACs and PVCs) everyday, even after my ablation. Try not to concentrate on them (I know easier said and done), keep busy and try deep breathing exercises if they are bothersome. Anxiety and stress can only make them worse.

I have PACs and PVC's that I am very sensitive too. I feel every one of them. I have never been diagnosed with AFIB.
