i'm sorry you're experiencing this. it's probably unnerving. unfortunately it's impossible to say what may be causing this without a physical exam and possibly lab work and other testing. many conditions can cause an irregular heartbeat like you're describing such as premature atrial contraction or even atrial fibrillation. the diagnosis can depend somewhat on your age smoking status cholesterol level and more. only an ekg or holter monitor test can say for sure what's going on here. i suggest you start by consulting your primary care provider. he or she knows your complete medical history and can best advise you as to the steps to take to obtain a diagnosis. wishing you all the best!
my heart seems to be skipping a beat. will beat 3 times then skip a beat. what would be causing this?
