Heart skips/palpitations

Last night I was having a really long and amazing steth but heard my heart constantly skipping beats.

I couldn't feel the skips but they were so easy to hear. I've got asthma but never noticed the skips before. Earlier in the night my chest was a little tight but it was fine when listening.

Does anyone else have anything similar?

I'll have to keep checking and see a doctor if it continues

I’ve heard the occasional skip but like you I couldn’t feel them.

Since having a serious bout of covid-19 last year my lungs aren’t what they used to be so I expect to hear issues with them.

I started a girl years ago who would get pvcs after drinking energy drinks.. She made it a point to guzzle a Red Bull a few minutes before the appointment for me to steth her.

I have a lot of skips, like really it‘s so frightining for me

See your doctor as soon as possible.

Listening can tell a lot to someone who has years of experience listening to all kinds of good and bad sounds, but experience limited to one's own heart or to a few close friends' will not, I repeat not, provide adequate information to make any kind of diagnosis.

Harmless palpitations can be caused by a number things such as fatigue, stress, alcohol, and a few more. However, palpitations can also be caused by very serious, even life-threatening, conditions such as cardiomyopathy, heart valve disease, and others.

So, consult a doctor ASAP. If DR says it is nothing to be concerned about, you're off the hook for now. But if it something serious and you don't consult, you could be in real trouble.

I too get skips once in a while. Those seem to be a “bonus” to the fast heart rate and palpitations that i also have. Haven't seen a doctor for that though.

I had pounding irregular beats, skipped beats, etc., for decades. Doctors called them “benign PVCs”. Said to cut out caffeine. That didn’t help much. Late in life, I discovered I had a magnesium deficiency. I’ve been taking magnesium supplements and the PVCs have virtually disappeared. Doctor is happy….I am happier!

Older topic, but I get these often. I have had multiple exams, holter, echo, (spent lots of money on tests) and they’re just benign ectopic beats. Tried cutting caffeine, tried magnesium… I think my heart just likes skipping!

I'm stething myself frequently at any occasion and several times a day/night. Sometimes, I also detect skips and/or can listen to irregular beats. Not that often but if this happens, I'm listening for a longer time. It sounds some kind of arousing and the long stething with this skips makes me horny so it ends up in intense masturbation, mostly. While I'm jerking, sometimes the skips disappear and my heart beats regular again, but faster and it increases a bit up to the orgasm.

Not just when I'm listening, as soon as I'll be stethed I'm excited and sometimes I can feel those skips inside of my chest. Several doctors could hear those as well but none of them mentioned that there's already or will be a serious problem. Skips seem to be more or less harmless in most cases.

I am stething myself from time to time and never heard any particular skips. My heart beats pretty steady.

A palpitation — a skipped, extra or irregular heartbeat — is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. It occurs when an electrical signal fires from the wrong place at the wrong time, causing the heart to beat out of rhythm.

An irregular heartbeat, such as racing, fluttering, or skipping a beat, is usually harmless. Even in cases when palpitations are frequent and bothersome (which occurs rarely), reassurance may be the only treatment needed.

The 5 most common cause of skipped heartbeats are :

1. Anxiety and stress

2. Caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and medications

3. Atrial fibrillation (A-fib)

4. Heart disease

5. Overactive thyroid

Although frequent heart palpitations may not be serious, it’s important to be evaluated by a doctor to make sure you don’t have a condition causing an irregular heartbeat. This evaluation is best done by a cardiologist, who can also detect some of these conditions with a careful history and physical examination.

Nearly everyone experiences palpitations due to premature atrial and ventricular contractions. You're more likely to notice a pause after PVCs but that's not always a guide. They can be seen on an EKG and distinguished. They're pretty much only likely to deteriorate into dangerous dysrhythmias in individuals with underlying organic myocardial dysfunction. So do get checked out by a competent physician and if there's no intrinsic disease there's no reason for concern. BTW I have them all the time and have never had a problem.
