a year ago, for about a week, I had sinus bradycardia at 50bpm, sinus tachycardia at 169bpm, occasional wrenching feelings in my chest accompanying 3 beats salvo premature ventricular contractions and premature atrial contractions
Everyone has these, the question is why, how many and for how long. What “condition” were you diagnosed with?
Everyone has odd heartbeats. Only a small minority of them can be noticed without instrumentation. Having an occasional wrenching feeling isn’t a sign of pathology, and most people have them. I have them. You can also have sensations in you chest that have nothing to do with arrhythmias.
I wasn’t diagnosed with any cause of these. I complained of wrenching feelings in my chest (If I remember correctly, at worst like once a day) for about a week once a year ago, they hooked up a halter monitor, and this is what they said I had. The doctor who did this said they were basically harmless, it’s just the second doctor (who I tried to get modafinil from) that thought they contraindicated it.
Well, as I said everyone has them. The number of premature ventricular contractions and whether they happen in groups would be the most interesting figure. I can imagine if you had many they would have told you so.
How many you noticed might have nothing to do with how many you actually had, and you noticing something might not have anything to do with actually having arrhythmia.

I don’t have that kind of thing enough to notice. Do you mean everyone has odd heartbeats, but some can only be noticed with instrumentation?

And how long was the Holter monitoring? How many episodes of arrhythmias?
3 days, unknown number of arrhythmias. (Roughly one that I noticed per day over the whole week, don’t remember how many happened with the monitor on),
