you probably had a type of palpitation called a PVC or PAC- your heart just beats a little too fast and gets ahead of itself. lots of people get them, theyre harmless unless you have an underlying problem like a heart defect. if you just get one here and then that's pretty common and youre fine. if youre getting quite a few, youre still probably fine but should get it checked out just to be on the safe side. \n\ni have them bad, i literally get thousands some days, it sucks. they still scare me some even though im pretty use to them by now...

Having the sensation of "skipped" or "extra" heart beats is quite common. To start, check your pulse for a full minute either at your wrist or neck. Usually you can tell if your heart rate is regular or if there are extra beats suddenly appearing. Sometimes it is a good idea for someone else to check for you as well (ie a "second opinion").\n\nHaving occasional "premature atrial contractions" is also quite common - these will give the sensation of either an extra beat or a skipped beat. \n\nIf these sensations continue or are impeding your daily functioning it is probably a good idea to go see your physician as an abnormal heart rhythm can be very serious.

Actually someone may have suggested to you that you may have heart problems,  You have gone through the tests and nothing has showed up.  If there was a problem believe me you would have been notified or admitted to the hospital from the emergency room.\n   Now you are dealing with a little anxiety, better address this problem before it starts ballooning into full scale panic attacks. \n   Trust in the doctors diagnosis, If you still are not convinced get a second opinion, make sure you also submit all your lab work and tests  so the new doctor has something to work with.\n   Just kick back smile and say to yourself It wasn't a heart attack or I wouldn't be sitting here right now.

Ideally - get medical attention a.s.a.p, even if you have call the emergency doctors now for advise - dont take the risk with chest pains.

That has happened to me before also. It used to happen often and then I found out it was low blood pressure. Check with a doctor if you are really concerned about it.

Go to a well qualified doctor.  My heart did that for years and was never cuaght on EKG.  Then one time I was able to get to the er when it was doing it.  I ended up having to get a cathader ablation done.  Were they go in your blood vessals with a fiber optic thing and zap some nerves in the heart.  it took two times but I have been fine ever since.

first you need to relieve your stress!!!\n no this is not a condition of the heart. stress is [by itself] but you need to go back and tell your doctor about this condition immedisately!!! [like yesterday]!!!\n this is a serious condition that requires immediate attention.

I also have had them. I am also a medical student just finishing med school.  Those beats you felt are called "PVC's", which in english is a skipped heart beat. You feel it as a racing heart.  This can occur with any "stimulants" like caffine (coke, coffee, red bull), diet pills, decongestents (especially sudafed since it has pseudoephedrine (a stimulant).  \nHowever, you need to have your heart monitored by your own doctor. He will likely give you a "holter monitor" which records your heart over 24 hours.  You should also discuss with your doctor any abnormal or "sudden      s" in your family. \nHope I helped, take care

Well in my case I felt the standard stabbing pain in my chest and a numbness in my left arm, it felt like someone was standing on my chest,couldn't breathe, couldn't hardly move. Broke out in a cold sweat and a feeling that is hard to explain, helplessness came over me. Fear, I knew what was going on, I wasn't afraid honestly ,I thought it was time to check out, my family met with me at the hospital, my brothers, and we talked and even laughed about all the things we had done as kids, I could see fear in thier eyes, I tried to make it easy on them. This was a "Minor" heart attack, it did however do some muscle damage to my heart, and I have suffered 2 more in the last 8 years, all required hospital time. My problems however are not blocked arteries mine is caused by a-fib, an extreme electrical short in the heart. I have been told a pacemaker would be the next step, I am just not sure about having "The Energizer Bunny" regulating my heart beat. You only fear death my friend if you are not sure what awaits you there, I know....and there is nothing to be of afraid of there.\n\nBlessings

Um, you better get to a doctor ASAP. It sounds like a heart attack, or heart murmur. And don't laugh it off, even if you think you're too young. I had a co-worker who had a terrible heart attack at age 19. It happened at work, she was complaining about something similar to yours. A few hours later, she stood up to leave, and just passed out. We had to call the ambulance. She survived, but had to quit working.

heart pounds like when it beats really quickly? i would say go see the doctor. asap. and stay away from any activities that make your heart pound until your doctor can check you out.\n\ni can't say what it is...heart problems can happen to people as young as babies (heart defect), so you don't want to sit on this and wait.\n\n*edit*\ni don't agree with the person above. the heart should never *hurt*. beat fast, sure, but pain is a sign of trouble...that's what pain is for. see the doctor.

I had the same thing one time. Turned out I'd pulled some muscles in my chest at the same time. Probably nothing but go to the doctor if it gets worse or it worries you.

this is something you really need to discuss with a doctor .. there are many circumstances around this .. and you do not want to take advice about something this serious.. \n\nMy daughter had heart surgery, and they were worried about her heart rate as it gets slow at rest .. but because it speeds back up to normal when she moves they say it is okay.. \n\nyes an EKG can be inconclusive.. it is possible the nodes were misplaced ect.. you should have 2-3 done to check for sure.. but you need to see a doctor.. as this is such a serious matter.. any advice given here will pretain your specific issue.
