kinda sounds like what i have its called pulmonary vascular contractions or (pvc) for short which means when your heart beats normally you have 1 pulse of electric shock to pump the heart with having (pvc) you have 2 quick shocks which throws off the rhythm that's why it hurts there is some medication for that but for them to say positive that is what it is they have to put you on a ekg while you are having them i hope this helps
