6 ectopic beats in a row

I experience lots of ectopic beats, but recently started to feel short, fast runs of ectopic beats, often preceded by a pause.

The most I've ever counted is six in a row, which completely stopped me in my tracks, as it was rather frightening.

Anyone else bothered by several ectopic beats in succession?

Yes i am having the same. Currently awaiting another seven day monitor, it that doesnt catch them the medics are considering an implantable loop recorder. I hate these pauses, dreadful things and so alarming. Hope you find a solution,

I have some really good runs! I was once out walking the dog and I couldn't tell you how long they lasted, in the end they made me feel dizzy n woozy eventually my heart kicked back in to normal mode. They've left me with mine and just put me on bisoprolol to help calm them down.

Sorry, what do you mean by 'runs'?

Several ectopics in a row - no sinus rhythm between ectopics.Could be nsvt, afib, psvt etc

or just ectopics (a salvo).
