My heart feels like it stops (possibly skipping a beat) then thumps real hard (once) before returning to normal. Been to a cardiologist, had echo done, wore a halter monitor (twice), and have done a tread mill test. Used to happen once an hour or two, sometimes as little as once a day... now happening up to three to four times a minute. Happens more when I lay flat on my back, sitting up straight or lying on my left side. Also seems to happen more frequently after I eat, or exercise. Now beginning to get painful when it occurs. My age is 34, height is 5-10, weight 170. I actively go to the gym, take a multivitamin and fish oil. My diet is healthy (low sodium, lower saturated fat), and I seldom drink alcohol (maybe once a week) and don t smoke/use tobacco. What could be causing this? Thanks!
You mentioned like you are evaluated extensively, and I assume the reports are normal. Let me know reports if possible. What is your resting pulse rate.it appears you are having athletes heart where heart beats slowly and hard making you aware of your heart beat because of slow beat it appears it is taking pauses. So I think nothing to worry about it and try to neglect it. More you think of it more you will be aware of it.
