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.

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

or just ectopics (a salvo).
