What Causes Abnormal Heart Beat Problem?

My husband says he feels like his heart stops for a second and then thumps. It only happens during the day, at night it doesn't happen. He was to the doctor for a bronchial problem and he was checked then for his heart. They did blood work (all came back perfect) and an ekg, also fine. He is scaring himself and thinks it's his heart. What should I do or is this nothing?

Hello,

Your husband can take ECG Holter monitoring (24-48h). These could help the doctor with more information because will see the ECG around the moment that your husband feeds symptoms and will tell exactly if there is any problem or not.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
