I used to feel a "skipped" beat from time to time in my chest.. It was no
big deal.
Sometimes when I am checking my pulse I feel a misplaced beat but I do not
feel it in my chest...
Is there any reason why I would not feel these in my chest but rather pick
them up when I am checking my pulse

Thank you
Ken

They may be PACs rather than PVCs.  It is possible that you feel PVCs
and not PACs.

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:

Dr. Chung.
thank you.. another question.. When you feel a beat in your pulse is it
originating from the ventricles or atria?

Thank you again
Ken

It can originate from either but will ultimately have to involve the
ventricles or there would not be palpable beat in your pulse.

Again, you are welcome, Ken.

Redirecting your thanks to GOD so that we will both be that much more
blessed (hungrier):
