What Does Instantaneous Heat Beating And Breathing Pause Signify?
Hi, i am 13 years old and I need you to answer my question. At random times during the day my heart stops beating and i stop breathing. I cant even gasp for air. It lasts for like 5 seconds then i can breathe again. I want to know what it is so if it happens again i wont know if it will last longer. PLEASE HELP I AM SCARED!!

Hi
I read your query very carefully and would like to say that this may be due to premature heart beating and the compensatory pause that follow it.
I suggest to consult a cardiologist for further exams and proper treatment. Meanwhile don't worry because this is a benign arrhythmia.
Hope It answered to your query!
