My heart sometimes beats a lot harder then usual?!


Question: My heart sometimes beats a lot harder then usual?
Sometimes my heart feels as if it get stuck and then it beats hard for a couple of seconds. But recently it has been doing it more often and if I put my hand on my chest I can feel the beating a lot more than usual? The other night it was beating hard all night and then all of a sudden it went away and went back to normal. I am going to book a doctors appointment. But I was just wondering if anybody has suffered the same and might know what it is?

Answers:

Sounds like ectopic beats. Everyone gets a few of these and they're perfectly normal some people are more sensitive and aware of them than others . They can be caused by all sorts of things. stress, hormones, stimulants like caffeine and alcohol or sometimes they can be triggered if you've suffered from a virus. Sometimes the occasional one can just happen at random.

Generally speaking it's nothing to worry about and only cause for concern if you're having 100's of them every day. You should still go and see your doctor if you're worried but the chances are they'll say it's nothing and you just have a minor case of hypochondria.

Hope all is ok.



there are only a couple things that i know that could cause that


1. Heart disease
2. something is clogged off in your heart making it difficult for the blood to flow through so your heart has to beat harder
3. you might be one of those people that has a hole in your heart.
4. maybe you're stressed

I hope it's nothing serious though
