Are these PVC's

My pacemaker has a lower setting of 50. I am sitting at the moment and my pulse is steady but around 42bpm. The heart beats are strong enough too keep me awake. Could I be having constant PVC's or is it just pacing I am feeling.

Could be either

I can feel it when my dual chamber pacemaker paces. It could be either. The only way to really tell if it is PVC's or the pacing that you feel is to have an EKG while you are feeling it. I cannot feel it when I pace in my atrium but I feel like I am getting kicked in the chest by a horse when it paces my ventricle, Vpacing. Hopefully your cardiologist and/ or EP will listen to you and not just dismiss you like mine did to me. Good luck!

Arrhythmia or not?
