What Causes Abnormal Heart Rhythms?
Since 2009 I have had episodes of skipped heartbeats that are followed by a big beat that will actually move my chest. I get these sometimes so frequently now, like at least ten a minute or more. Seems more when Im not active, when siting on the couch watching tv, standing still...etc. Dr says it happens to those in menopause. But I didnt have a hysterectomy till 2010... I just worry because its so often

Hello,

Kindly get an EKG done with your family physician for best possible guidelines possible at this stage.
