What Causes Heart Beat To Skip?

I am having skipped beats or extra beats with my heart as we speak. I have had them ALL day long. It is skipping 6 or more beats every minute. It has never skipped this much this long. I am so afraid and feel like I am going to die from this. I don t know whether to go to the emergency room or not. It is skipping every other beat. Please help me.

Hello,

I suggest you see a doctor and do an ECG, and probably a 24h ECG Holter monitoring, cardiac sonography, to evaluate exactly what the problem is and if need medication or not.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Anila Skenderi, General & Family Physician
