What Causes Irregular Heart Rates?
Question: IMy heart is skiping beats. My B. P. is 140. What should I do ?Please reply by e-mail
Brief Answer:
Not a cause for concern.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that some amount of irregularity in heart rate as well as missed beats are normal and not a cause for concern. Nothing needs to be done about it. However, I would insist you to get an Electrocardiogram (ECG) done [12 leads with long lead II] and that should give the pattern and indicate if there is anything ot worry about.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
