This has been repeating a few times tonight. appreciate your thoughts on this. XXXXXXX W.
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query here.
Your symptoms are likely due to a 'cardiac arrhythmias'. You mentioned that you get a PVC or PAC and then you feel a little flush and anxious and a little sweat. It's possible that you might e developing a Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia, precipitated by the ectopic beats. This can lead to such symptoms.
You must get a HOLTER test done which can pick up the cardiac event which is causing such symptoms.
These cardiac arrhythmias are usually recurrent and can be suppressed with medicines.
Hope this answers your query. Please get back if you need any further information
Thanks and Regards
