irregular heart beats

Hi jaylow and Welcome to HealingWell!!

The cause of irregular heartbeats can come from many sources.  The heart itself can be having some 'electrical' problems, or it can be brought on by other outside reasons.  Do you have any other health issues? - like an over active thyroid?  We've discussed another issue here before re panic attacks - they have been known to bring these on.  It could be a medication.  Caffeine is another one that is a culprit of causing irregular heartbeats or palpitations.

You can see by what I've mentioned above that irregular heartbeats can be brought on by health problems that could be serious, or even from benign issues. 

Hope this has helped?!

Hugs, Teri

Hi Sarah!

You know the old saying, "there's never a silly/stupid question"?  That is so true especially when it concerns the heart!!

Have you ever been told you might have PVC's, premature ventricular contractions?  Have you ever had any reason to suspect that you had any heart trouble?  I'm only asking these questions as sometimes when people ask me a question like this it's very difficult to answer not knowing any prior history.  I'm not a Dr. so I can't diagnose, but what I can definitely recommend, is to make a Dr.'s appt. and have this addressed by him/or her to be on the safe side!

Read some of what I posted above and read the links as well.  It may help to give you some personal insight on this.  However, I still would like to hear that you are going to discuss this with your Dr. whether you believe it's normal, or not. :)

Don't ever second guess yourself on these things, as it's always better to be safe than sorry!!

Big Hugs, Teri 

Please let me know what happens!!

Hi John!

How have you been doing?!

Re your statement above, it is true in some cases that an EP study is highly recommended, but there are also other causes that bring these on and since we're not Dr.'s we're not allowed to diagnose.  That's why I encourage most people to get these things checked out by their own Dr.'s first.

I really hope that you are doing okay, and I'm so glad to see you posting again!!

Hugs, Teri
