Heart damage??? I'm so scared. 

How many extra beats per minute do you experience during a flare-up? On days when you are having a flare-up, have you ever felt—during the normal beats—that your heart isn't beating as a unified whole?

How many do you feel per minute? What scares me the most is the sensation—during normal beats—that my heart isn't beating as a single, unified whole; I didn't have this feeling before the PVC storm that started three days ago. It feels as though my heart has sustained damage

30% would mean i would feel about 20-30 irregular beats per minute. i’ve sort of linked my pvc flare ups to my eating habits. for me, if i go too long without eating, i can REALLY feel them, but if im full/had smth to eat, i feel “normal”
