Question: Possible heart problem? maybe?
so every once in awhile, at random times, it feels like... my heart just beats normal, normal, normal, and then its like.. it has a very big beat, almost like it builds up a really big beat, and lets it go with like 2 rapid beats, and its back to normal, and this makes me feel weird too... only for a few seconds though. whats thecause of this? or is it normal? thanks!
Answers:
That "hard, fast, fast" part is possibly an attack of Ventricular Tachycardia. During normal conditions, the heartbeat is initiated by the Sinus Node in the right atrium. During the "hard" beat another part of the heart initiates a beat. During "fast fast" the impulse initiated during "hard" circles two times, causing two fast beats. Attacks of VT can be normal, or they can be caused by different things like a heart attack.
