Good afternoon.
I am a female who will be 31 in July, I am not on any medication at. I weigh approx 13st 11 and try to exercise for 2-3hours weekly (running, badminton & tennis).
For about 6months I have experienced missed heart beats with a sudden strong heart beat, which makes me breathe in deeper and feel a little light headed at times. I can feel this in my chest. I have a pulse of 71 - 80 BPM with a missed heart beat about 4-6 times per minute at rest and a pulse of 146-152 BPM with a missed heart beat of 8-14 times after an hour of tennis.
I only have coffee in a morning (1 - 2 cups), I eat regular fruit and vegetables, I take vitamin suppliments and have take aways probably once a month. I don't like salt so try not to eat processed foods and never add salt to my food/cooking. Most of the foods we eat consist of pasta, bread & rice (all carbs!!) but include fish, veg, red meat & white meat
There is no apparent reason for the missed beats, they are all the time, in bed, watching tv, at work, in the bath, driving, walking, excercising etc. It is frustrating and a little worrying to say the least
Is this normal or should I see my GP?
thank you
