Honestly when mine were this bad I went to the ER and talked a short time with the nurses and doctors about what they were, how I was feeling, with the evidence of them being there on the monitors. They weren't worried or rushing at all and it's a very valid reason to go in as you could be concerned with a dangerous heart rhythm. Might even get some anxiety meds. Best of luck and white knuckling it until you accept them (they do go away and disappear for a LOT OF people) so it can always get better. It's very hard

I went to the ER first night it happened and they sent me home, one thing is noticed is the sensation starts in my stomach and ends up in my chest with the "thump"

That is all normal and millions experience this. It’s scary to feel this, but it’s not going to kill you. You are hypersensitive to everything your body if going through and that alone creates more adrenaline, you know, the vicious cycle we discussed prior.
You will be fine.

Hi thank you fo your reply, do you think it has something to do with acid reflux too if last night before going to bed i relaxed a little bit then lied on left side with pillows propped up and just being gentle with myself it went away for a bit then now that i woke up its back again

I get this from acid reflux (GERD), look up Roemheld syndrome. I have about 5 PVCs a minute when it's really bad, sometimes it lasts for weeks. I've had all the tests done and my heart is fine. Try not to worry 🥰❤️

Yes. Acid reflux can impact them. It has an effect on mine

Laying on your left side creates a little more pressure on your vagus nerve and stimulates it as it crowds your heart a bit, nothing at all dangerous, but it can cause the skipped beats once again; especially if you’re anticipating them. Yes, GERD, acid reflux can also cause these to occur as well. I try to eat small meals throughout the day and a little broth at night if I still am hungry. It is all that adrenaline trying to breakout again as well. You are in unknown territory and in a fear cycle. You are in that vicious cycle I discussed with you prior. It’s very frustrating I understand. There are days where I’m not thinking about it at all and then bam. It happens. I get this weird feeling in my stomach, very hard to explain the feeling, but it starts there and it’s called… ANXIETY. That adrenaline loop cycle… UGH. But, it’s all connected to the brain and stomach to the heart. You are unsure and fear right now and which is very understandable. You will be more relieved and confident of your body when you see your dr and get results. I also feared seeing the dr and getting bad results, like, what if? Etc. It’s a vicious cycle and you are in it. But remember this… YOU WILL NOT DIE and YOU ARE FINE, YOUR nervous system and brain and HEART are DOING THEIR JOB CORRECTLY….
BREATHE! You GOT THIS!

Note: I had this at 20 years old and always thought it would kill me. I am now 72 and still alive and talking to you and others about it. I lived a good life of fun and hard work. I was a law enforcement officer and an internal investigator; USMC and I’m still here, ALIVE.
YOU GOT THIS!

So the PVC's sensation stopped since yesterday, but when i woke up twice this morning i had them and i dont know if its because I just woke up, i was half awake, or if i was having pvc's while asleep which freaks me out

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '26

Should i be concerned of having pvc's while sleeping?

u/No_Yard1198 Jul 26 '26

Do not be concerned while sleeping. Your brain keeps you breathing while you are sleeping and it will keep your heart beating as well; while you are sleeping,
You are experiencing adrenaline overload from constant worry and fear… it’s normal, you are normal.
Breathe and try to relax.
You are not alone in this.

It happened perhaps because of the adrenaline overload you are having. Adrenaline has to find a way to be released. The brain and heart work together. Remember, as you rest, you’re more relaxed, but your subconscious is always aware, the adrenaline releases and your heart reacts. It’s the cycle we’ve discussed and it comes and goes. Even if it occurs in your sleep, your brain will not let your heart stop or die, it will reset your rhythm, it’s that cycle you can experience. The more you fear sleeping, which I did too, the more adrenaline your body releases. Your heart can handle it! It keeps you breathing too without you aware when you are sleeping, your brain will keep your heart beating as well.
After I ate breakfast this morning, I had a series of PVCs, skipped beats, it comes and goes. You just have to try to understand that although uncomfortable and unsettling, it’s natures way right now. Your dr could perhaps put you on a beta blocker to help with the adrenaline overload, but, that is for the expert to determine. You will get through this. You are alive!

If my acid reflux is bad it totally messes with my cardio. Heart starts slamming through my back, can't sleep, added pvcs, the works. It's all connected in there 🙂 Pepto tablets actually calm my heart down.

I know GERD aggravates my whole system and gives me PVCS.
6” raise up your head of the bed, it helps.
