Very irregular heartbeat.

Indus1986

I think I suffer from abnormal heart rates, but I am not old or suffering from any diseases and I rate my health as average.

sometimes my heart rate just increases rapidly and the force of the contraction can be so strong that when i sit still you can see my clothes moving with the contraction on my chest.

This occurs when lying down resting my heart will do this and it may get worse if i just get out and walk down the stairs and would remain like this for 5 minutes.

I can sometimes slow it down by concentrating very hard and forcing myself to breath slowly and deeply.

anyone know what is wrong with me?

you may havea heart murmor, my brother ahs one, and it was only detected a few years ago, its basically the valves on your heart let some blood leak back in, or you have an irregular rythem at which your heard beats.. if you are concerned about this i would suggest going to see a doctor because they will then pass you on and you cabn have an untrasound done on your heart to see if there is anythignwrong, but don't get too worried, but jsut go see a doctor to be on the safe side.

although it can also be linked to fitness levels, if you are fairly unfit and don't exerceise on a regular baisis then you will have an irregular heart beat, whihc might be more the reason why you have varying heart rates.

Listen to me: If you suspect that you may have something wrong with you in the slightest GO and check it out. Because I thought I had leg cramp, until I was told by the hospital I had DVT. Go, for your own good.

Indus - sounds exactly like my heart. Unfortunately my long list of ailments is taking a while to get through, and this little problem is right at the bottom. Doh.
