irregular heartbeat

	Asked by grandmaj (Female; 28; USA ) on Thu 11, Sep 2008 06:52pm
	I have been having this weird heartbeat where it doesnt seem to have a rhythm at all it just twitches and it only lasts a couple seconds but comes back a lot and it beats really hard when doing so making a fluttering flip flop feeling and I get dizzy and weak and feel like I may faint. I have had an EKG done before and it was normal should I still be concerned?? Im afraid not to be.

Your symptoms could be due to arrythmias or disturbance in the heart rhythm.The main symptoms are palpitations, dizziness, fainting, breathlessness and chest pain. This requires further evaluation. Please consult your family doctor first and undergo a complete cardiovascular exam. Hope this helps!
