Symptomatic PVC's?: Should also get an echo if already have not. Thus i'll help tell us i there is any structural heart disease to explain your problem. If the holter was abnormal or inconclusivene, can try an even monitor which your doctor can arrange for you. Can also treat symptomatically with medications (eg beta blocker) or see an ep specialist for definitive treatment.

Palpitations: Palpitations have many causes from anxiety through anatomic and physiologic abnormalities. The feeling of bounding usually relates to the volume of blood pumped with each palpitation. There is no simple single answer for the question. If you're bothered by the feeling should consult a dr. To see if the problem can be clarified.
