What should you do if your heart feels ok during the day but at night after work it feels strange in your chest and after five beats it seems to skip a beat before beating five more times? |
Answer
How often does this happen, once a night, once a minute, once every 5 beats? Is the pulse regular or irregular? Any feelings of pain or shortness of breath? A lot of people miss a few beats now and then. These are known as ventricular ectopics and are made worse by caffeine and stress. Maybe you are more aware of them when you are relaxed. They are not generally serious. However there are a whole host of other things it could be as well and it would probably be sensible to get a doctor to listen to your heart and do an ECG recording. I wouildn't lie awake at night worrying about it though.
