What Causes Extra Heart Beat And Chest Discomforts With Stress?

My boyfriend was complaining of feeling flip flops of his heart, he has been under some stress and thought this could be the reason, he said he was in no pain just some discomfort in his chest? He also was once told he has a extra heartbeat. He is 48 6 0 and about 200 lbs

Hi welcome to HCM
I understand your query and concern
Extra beats in your case could be related to arrythmias of heart which results in abnormal conduction of heart.Get investigations like ECG,2D echo,complete blood picture of your heart to confirm the diagnosis.Also moitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly.Electrophysiological study of your heart will be very much useful.Once diagnosed radio frequency ablation of your heart is treatment of choice.Medical management in the form of beta blockers will also help to control your symptoms.Consult your cardiologist for expert management.Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
