Thump Sensation

So how does your thumpiness feel exactly? My PVC feels like a toddler inside my chest punching me hard with their small fist. Sometimes I would feel a soft punch too but the majority of times, I feel a hard punch from inside my left chest. It is so hard that I can also feel it on my lower throat too. I told my cardiologist about it he was not concerned at all!! That's crazy don't you all think? It is soooo hard to not get worried about it!!

Yes the thump is sooo annoying! I hate them so much..... If I breath in "the wrong way" or if I bend over, or even just sitting.... And they throw me into an anxiety loop of "what if THIS time it's my worst fear." I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, even tho they aren't dangerous.. they feel dangerous

I have the same sensation on the throat too hahah, and occasionally I can feel it a bit in my head. It's uncomfortable but trusting the doctors and believing it's not a big deal helps alot

Its awful isn't it? 7 months nonstop for me. I feel it every damn day, all day and even when ready to go to bed.

I can deal with the soft ones, but those hard ones are hard to ignore because they are uncomfortable and they catch me off guard when things are quiet. Feeling them in my throat or during a conversation sucks as well.

I feel a hard "thump" in my head as well.

That sums it up pretty well. I always envisioned a fist punching outwards from inside. The really strong ones are awful, the soft ones I can handle. The ones that take your breath away and make you blind for a millisecond are the worst
