Anybody else have cardiac problems?

I'm nearly a year out from surgery, and have gone from 391 to 200. (yay me!) Last Wednesday, I felt a strange "blooping" sensation in my chest/stomach area, as if my heart suddenly ballooned to a huge size, then subsided. At first I thought it was gas, but I happened to take my pulse, and every time I felt the "bloop" my heart skipped a beat. I broke all speed records getting to the ER, and they diagnosed PVCs, premature ventricular contractions, and said they were uncomfortable but nothing to worry about. I went to my PCP and he sent me for blood work, echocardiogram, and 24 hour Holter monitor. I hope to get the results tomorrow. My lung doctor said that when you lose a lot of weight, your heart can be starved, and react in strange ways. OK, the question is, did anybody else have this problem? PVCs or other heart arrhythmias? What did you do for it? What did your doctor say? I'm sitting here, chewing my fingernails, and hope you all have some words of wisdom for me! Thanks much!!
