Overview
Premature ventricular contraction patients may have no symptom at all or may present with exercise intolerance and chest pain. Sometimes patients may present with a non specific feeling of forceful beat which might need the use of Holter monitor to pick up PVCs.
History and Symptoms
Although there are many signs and symptoms associated with PVCs, PVCs may have no symptom at all. An isolated PVC is hard to catch without the use of a Holter monitor. PVCs may be perceived as a skipped heart beat, a strong beat, or a feeling of suction in the chest. They may also cause chest pain, a faint feeling, fatigue, or hyperventilation after exercise. Several PVCs in a row becomes a form of ventricular tachycardia (VT), which is a potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia.
Some other possible symptoms of PVCs:
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness
- Feeling your heart beat (palpitations)
- Feeling of occasional, forceful beats
- Increased awareness of your heart beat
