Sometimes out of nowhere I feel my heart, instead of going baBUMPbaBUMPbaBUMP, go THUMP....... THUMP..... THUMP. Its like it beats harder slower, but only for a couple of beats. I feel it in my chest and throat. I dont want to go to the doctor because, it doesnt happen that often, so if I go there, and nothing happens, its kinda like Im making it up... Does anyone know whats going on? Has this happened to anyone else?
Hello and thanks for writing. I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Your complaints seem to be due to palpitations, the common causes of which are:1. Anxiety2. Sleep disorders3. Overactive thyroid 4. Heart conduction Problems5. Coronary artery disease6. Idiopathic, without any cause It is advisable for you to get yourself evaluated for these conditions. You may need a few tests like CBC, thyroid profile, ECG and others. If your problems are transient then a 24 hour holder study may be useful to detect any subtle cardiac conduction problems. You may consult a physician for the same.In the meantime you should have a sound sleep, avoid stress, take regular exercise to reduce your symptoms.
