Is It Normal To Feel Heart Pulse In The Neck And Fingers When Heart Stops For A Half Second Then Starts Beating Again?

I have been noticing when I am some what comfortable I feel my heart(pulse) in my neck with my fingers, then after a few beats my heart stops for a half second then starts beating again. This does not happen all the time but when it does it comes in every once and a while.

Hi,
It is quite common for your heart to miss a beat and then the next beat will be stronger to compensate. Do not worry about your symptoms they are normal.
