What Could Cause Increase In Pulse Rate And Strange Sensation In Throat?
Once in awhile, I'll be sitting watching TV and I get a funny feeling in my chest/throat and it seems like I should take a deep breath. The last time this happened I checked my pulse and it beat 7 times then stopped and then 7 times and stopped. Tonight it is beating non stop. What causes this?
This is probably normal. it is called ventricular ectopics which can occur normally in everyone and especially more in people having caffeinated drinks. if these episodes cause fainting or light headedness, then they should be evaluated furtuer.
