Hello rlr,

It has been a while since I've been on this site, but my heart is still acting up. I continue to suffer from a very slow (low 50s/high 40s) heart rate with less and less frequent PVCs (suction feeling in my throat). Lately I have noticed that whenever I get up from a seated or lying down position, my heart beats really hard, but does not speed up until I am up for 10 seconds or so. During this time, my heart beats REALLY HARD and REALLY SLOW. It feels as if there is blood pooling in my neck for 3-5 seconds until my heart speeds up enough to pump it up to my brain.

I dont get very dizzy when it happens, it just feels extremely uncomfortable and it feels like its putting a lot of strain on my heart. all of this started after my first PVC's, which you have already convinced me are harmless. The PVCs themselves are more likely to occur when i stand up and my heart is beating really slow, and hard.

Is bradycardia with slow, pounding, heart that triggers PVCs anything of concern to you? Indicative of any physiological problem?

I am 22 yo male. 5'11" 186lbs. I have a history of prior cocaine use (for about 2 years...quit 2 years ago). Cardiologist says my heart is fine, and I'm guessing it is too...just want to know why these symptoms wont go away.

Thanks!
