Hey Reddit!,

I’ve always had these “weird” feeling heartbeats that would often take my breathe away. I’ve been to doctors and cardiologists and they never happen (of course) when they do tests like EKGs and doctors always say I’m perfectly fine (even did a echocardiogram).

I finally was feeling them and I think I was able to capture it on my Apple Watch.

Is this what a PVC looks like? Again feel they uncomfortable and makes me short of breath when it happens.

I will definitely be showing it to my doctor as well.

    For what it’s worth, I did a deep dive into what causes these PVCs. I started to develop them only recently in January 2023. EKGs, a stress test, and an echocardiogram later there was nothing clinically wrong with my heart. It felt awful nonetheless having these things flare up if I was in a hot shower, stressful situation, or doing strenuous exercises.

    I started taking daily Potassium supplements (99mg) around August from a reputable company called Thorne. I’ve also used their Heart Health Complex daily too and I’ve noticed I have them way fewer now and they are more controllable than they were before. I may have had a Potassium deficiency ever so slightly increase over the years. I would try that if you have no underlying issues.
