Has anyone experienced when they are in bed say after a long day, after taking in salt, maybe alcohol(stimulants), they are stressed---PVCs? I had two like two big thuds, somewhat painful that shook me in bed and last night and winded me a bit. I breathed and coughed(vagal maneuver) and my heart was back to normal. I think PVCS can hurt a lot or be hard as I hear that it's due to how much blood builds up in the ventricles before the heart releases it. That little delay can cause more blood to build up than normal and so when released can cause a harder, more thud/thump type of beat that can be unsettling. Anyone experience this? Especially while in bed/trying to dose off? I was heart conscious yesterday. I notice when I don't think about it, they don't appear. (PVCS or Ectopics I mean)
