What Does High Pulse And Skipped Heart Rate Indicate?

I was seen in the emergency room today. My heart had been racing for 3 hours. With skipped beats mixed in there. Very fluttery feeling. Also I was super light headed. When I went into the ER my pulse was reading anywhere from 95-130. My blood pressure was normal. They did an EKG on my and that showed 103 for pulse rate. The monitor showed I had several PVCs and missed heartbeats. Should I be concerned?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
hello dear ,
i understood your concern,
before comenting on you i need a pic of your ecg ,
as you are already in ER they will tak care.
no need to worry much.
vpc in in ecg indicates ventricular premature complexes.
and your heart in 103. and missed beats
means it is most propably ventricular tachy cardia ,ventricular flutter or ventricular fibrilation.
all theses are treatable by drugs.
no need to be worried.
and get one 2d echo done .
for further management .
if any query further feel free to ask.
hope you early recovery.
thank you.
