I Do Feel My Heart Skipped A Beat Or Pump Harder, Is That Dangerous ?
When I was born, I had a hole in the heart and they said to go to doctor when I grow older. I never did get checked for that but I never had a heart attack or anything like that. Sometimes I do feel my heart skipped a beat or pump harder, it s a strange feeling. Is that dangerous or anything ?
