What Causes Sudden Fluctuations In The Heart Rate?
I usually have a low bpm usually in the 60s. I have noticed in the last few days that my heart beats feel funny/ inconsistent. It s not all the time but it s getting a little more frequent. I have a bpm monitor so I ve been monitoring myself today. When I feel the inconsistent beat my bpm goes down to around 35 bpm give or take and then a few minutes later it shoots up to around 78 bpm. A few minutes after that it goes back to around 65-68 which is normal for me. Should I seek medical attention ASAP?

Hi,
Consult a cardiologist and get evaluated to rule out rhythm anomalies which can present with similar symptoms.
You might require a serial ECG monitoring and an echo test to rule out arrhythmia and structural anomalies.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
