2. Pauses and Jolts
Premature contractions of the upper chamber of the heart (atria), cause the atria to pause to regain the proper rhythm. Once the irregular beat happens, the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles) contract harder to push the extra blood out accumulated during the pause. That push feels like a jump or jolt as the ventricles use more force.
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a sign the heart’s electrical system may not be working correctly. Causes may include being scared, dehydrated or having too much caffeine
