I have been getting irregular heart beats the last week, and I am trying to work out if there is a reason why, could it be because I have a hole in my tooth? My heart hasnt carried on like this for a year and a half or so... Not drinking anymore caffeine than usual...
Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will bray to explain you something. You might experience irregular heart beat for different reasons.First it is necessary to know what is this irregular heart beat. It might be an extra-systolic beat. This is an electrical impulse that generate from parts of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm, causing a skipped beat that you feel like irregular rhythm. Or it might be a real irregular rhythm, when your heart beats in a chaotic way, what we call atrial fibrillation. You might have these rhythm issues because of different reasons from simple emotional stress to pathology BS like anemia, hyperthyroidism CTA hole in your tooth does not cause irregular heart beat. Only if you have done an infection in your tooth that might generate an inflammatory process that might give a little sinus tachycardia, meaning that your heart beats over 100 beats for minute. So, my opinion as a cardiologist is that if you continue feeling this irregular beats you should see what are this making some examinations like blood sample, thyroid hormones, electrocardiogram and of course a holder monitoring to see the rhythm tendency. You already do not Chat Doctor. Hope I was helpful. Best regards
