I have exactly the same thing. Sometimes the PVCs feel like a lightening bolt going through my chest, really not pleasant at all! Spoke to my cardiologist about it and he said some ectopics cause this chest pain, but it’s normal and nothing to worry about. It’s horrible when it happens but just have to get on with it I guess.

Like Dr Gupta said. Sometimes the ventricles beat when empty and this causes the painful pulse.
