Brief Answer:
It looks like PVC, examinations are needed...
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX!
What you are experiencing may be due to premature ventricular complex. It's a benign arrhythmia, but other examinations are needed in order to set the right diagnosis.
If you were my patient i would recommend to do the following examinations:
- ECG
- Cardiac ECHO
- ECG (Holter) monitoring
- Stress test
If all the examinations are normal than you have nothing to worry about.
Hope this will be of help!
