Some people with PVCs may not feel any symptoms. Other times, symptoms may be so subtle that you only notice them when you are not distracted.
Common symptoms include:
- Heart palpitations — When your heart has an extra or irregular beat, you might feel a fluttering sensation in your chest. Sometimes it can feel like your heart is pounding or skipping. Or you might simply be more aware of feeling your heartbeat in an odd or off-putting way.
Other symptoms can include:
- Shortness of breath — Especially if you have another underlying heart condition, PVCs can sometimes make you feel like you can’t get enough air.
- Dizziness — You might feel faint or lightheaded during an episode of PVCs. This can occur when the irregular heartbeat causes your blood pressure to drop temporarily.
- Pounding sensation in the neck — For some people, the change in heartbeat can cause the pulse in your neck to feel like it’s pounding.
