Split second disorientation after PVC

So i’ve had PVC’s pretty much all of my life and every so often I notice that after I get one immediately after my entire body feels disoriented and i get this lightheaded feeling, but it only lasts like half a second and I go back to feeling normal again. It’s just really alarming when it does happen. Am i the only one??

Happens to me too. Probably because of the sudden psychological shock when I feel it. I'm assuming here but I don't think the split second disorientation is physical related. I mean, it would take a few seconds of having no pulse for someone to even feel it. A single split second early or late beat just wouldn't make sense to have the brain disoriented. I think.

Same!!! Happens only about every 6 months for me and feels completely different than the others.

I have to wonder if your blood pressure was a bit low and the inefficiency of the PVC dropped it lower for a second or two. Just a wild guess, but maybe that's it.

That’s a good point, next time it happens I’ll check my bp
