default
Posted on Sat, 25 Oct 2014
Question: Hi,
My heart feels heavy, irregular tempo and skips a beat since yesterday evening. I thought breathing exercises, sleep and vitamin B will help but no change. I feel a bit dizzy when I get up, never had this before and it came out of the blue.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking to HCM!

What you are experiencing most likely are related to premature ventricular complex and as a such are considered harmless.

However I recommend to run the following examinations:
- ECG
- ECHO
- Holter monitoring
This will help find out the exact nature of your concerns.

Hope this was of help!
