Question: My heart keeps skipping beats and it feels differently sometimes than others. When I am lying in the bed on the computer with ear rested on hand I can hear my heart beating in my ear, and can actually hear what it is doing sometimes. I can feel it skip and then it speed up some beating faster, and then it will beat one beat real hard and strong, and then I felt it actually stop beating and heard it stop beating for a sec. then beating again then double beating again. When I feel it do this I will hold my breath sometimes and be very still and it will not quit doing this until I start breathing again.Why is this? And, why does it feel like it skips in different places sometimes than others. I have svt, mvp, pvc's pac's and an anuersym in my atrial septum. I do have a regular echo a year and vist my heart dr. who I don't really like all that much . He never takes very much time and rushes in and out again. I live in a small town, so not many here to see. I take tenormin for the svt. I am 51 and female and weigh 123 lbs, non smoker and don't drink. I know in the past when I have worn a holter monitor and event recorder it has shown that I have alot of skips and some pauses of two seconds and somthing about couplets. I have read where couplets were XXXXXXX If so, then why doesn't my heart dr. seem concerned. And why does it feel like it is skipping in different places sometimes than others. I know that they tell me it doesn't actually skip and is just extra beats and cant skip, but I have read where it actually can skip some beats and stop for a bit. I know that is what mine is doing, because I can hear and feel it sometimes. Sometimes it makes me feel dizzy and weak for a moment like it took my breath away. Scary feeling. Some more than others. Why is this?
I have another question. Why do I read where pvc's are really svt. I know that pvc's are extra beats before they need to beat, but isn't svt ur heart beating very fast. So how can beats before their time be svt? I can feel the pvc's and they don't feel fast, just like it actually skipped a beat and can hear them sometimes in my ear.When I have svt it is just beating really hard like when ur exercising and it's beating really fast but not like pvc's. Can u explain this please?

No, really u didn't answer my questions at all. The first part of the long paragraph is where most of my information and questions were. U just replyed back to the second question. I was telling u that my heart has skipped for quite some time on and off. I have taken tenormin for it. It use to feel different when it would skip like on the upper right top part. Now it seems to skip on the left lower part of my heart. Why does the skips feel differently?I also told u I can feel them skip or double beat or whatever they do. I can hear it in my ear when I am lying down and have my ear rested on my hand. I can actually feel it and hear it speed up and beat differently after it felt like it skipped. Then it did the one hard strong beat and the I could actually feel it stop beating for a sec or two and that made me feel weird. The drs' have told me it doesn't actually skip a beat, but beats a beat before it needs to do so. I have read though that it can actually stop or skip a beat for a second. I have had pauses of two seconds when I wore the event recorder and halter monitor. Runs of two and couplets or whatever that is with pauses of two seconds. Is that dangerous??? What is it doing? Please go back and re read my upper questions and please answer my concerns please. Thanks
