Hey Reddit!,
I’ve always had these “weird” feeling heartbeats that would often take my breathe away. I’ve been to doctors and cardiologists and they never happen (of course) when they do tests like EKGs and doctors always say I’m perfectly fine (even did a echocardiogram).
I finally was feeling them and I think I was able to capture it on my Apple Watch.
Is this what a PVC looks like? Again feel they uncomfortable and makes me short of breath when it happens.
I will definitely be showing it to my doctor as well.
This looks pretty much like my PVCs did when I caught them. Was able to show my doc my Apple Watch EKG and they got me on a 48 hour monitor and caught more. Then some sonograms to check for function and flow and that all came back normal.
Official diagnosis and course of action is “sometimes it be like that.”
Doc said the Apple Watch EKG alone isn’t conclusive as it could be other things, so get that checked. But when everything else comes up nominal, PVC it is. They did not tell me the other options, and I did not ask, and I do not entirely want to know.
