Sounds like a premature ventricular contraction, or PVC. These are very common, and are absolutely nothing to worry about. They won't cause any problem and won't cause your heart to go into arrhythmia. It's probably not necessary, but if you're still worried, you can ask your doctor for an EKG to analyze the rhythm of your heart.

To read more, see the wikipedia article below.

if you feel your heat skipping a beat (irregular rhythm) then you need to go back to your doctor and tell him you need a 12 lead EKG. That is the best diagnostic tool and it's painless and very fast!

Too much animal fat in your diet.

Are you drinking too much caffeine? Drinking too much alcohol? Getting enough sleep? Stressed out? Fix those things.

If you continue to have the problem go see a cardiologist. They are experts in hearts. If there is a problem a cardiologist would recognize it.

I have heart palpations sometimes. My doctor did an ekg and put me on a halter heart monitor for a couple days. He didn't find anything, but you should see your doctor again or get a new doctor. He should not ignore these symptons.

Decreased potassium can cause heart palpitations. If you do not eat enough bananas, baked potatoes, cantalope, or drink orange juice...(foods that contain potassium) it can cause your heart to palpitate. Potassium can control your heart rate, if its off.. so can your heart rate be.

Also in some cases, stress can do the same. Sometimes if a person is very anxious, stress can cause the heart to palpatate, which causes even more stress.

Most heart palpitations are noticed shortly after going to bed at night. It its diet related.. you can feel them anytime.

If it continues, see a different Doctor.

Hello hon go back and make him listen,A lot of times I have it and it really was gas. Indigestion will cause it.I take a deep breath because it feels like the old girl is tired and thinking about taking a break . :) And my doctor did confirm this. So you need your doctor to run an EKG to rule out heart problems. Good luck to you sweetie and please don;t put this off make your appointment now ok . Bye

Another possibility is hypoglycemia. If you haven't eaten for awhile, or not eaten the right things, heart palpitations can be one of the symptoms. And definitely find another doctor!

The best diagnostic tool for irregular heart beat is a 24 hour holter monitor. It is a small device that records your heart rhythm for one whole day. And counts abnormal heart beats. If your doctor doesn't seem interested in year concern get a new doctor, who will take you seriously. The cause could be related to disease or diet. get some help!
