Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I'm 45 years old and weigh 63Kg ! i do not have any heart problems but recently i started having irregular heartbeats ... mostly slow and irregular (with a few fast ones in between)! this does not happen regularly and not on a set pattern ! It may happen after a gap of few weeks or more! Also, when my heart is beating irregularly I get a funny feeling in my throat as if there is a pulse there as well! i have this reflux issue as well but its not as bad as it used to be! My last ETT came out clear and i am about to have another one just to make sure my heart is ticking fine! any idea what is wrong!

What Causes Irregular Heartbeats?
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM! I have gone through your question. surest way of knowing what is wrong with you heart beat is to get an ECG (if possible) when you have those palpitations. If that ECG shows normal sinus rhythm .. you need not worry much. Anyways get a thyroid test done .. sometimes hyperthyroid (excess thyroid) may also cause palpitations. Holter monitoing would be helpful only if you have palpitations daily. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health, Dr D Sunil Reddy
