Why I am having irregular heartbeat and numbness in my chest ?
I m 18, white female, and I ve been smoking cigarettes for about 8 months now. I decided to quit today though! :) I don t take medication. I don t workout, but I m skinny, 5 8 and 117lbs. My heart beat is 64 bpm and its skips beats, then stops, then flutters. Its been doing this a lot lately. All week, its scary and gives me anxiety and wakes me up at night. I feel my heart beat a lot, its annoying, and my left arm goes tingly sometimes. And my chest goes numb. Am I ok?? Should I see a doctor?

Hello there..
welcome to healthcare magic forum..
It looks like you might be having rhythm disorder of your heart..This might happen due to stress or due some underlying abnormality. You need to consult a cardiologist and discuss about further management of your condition. You might need to start on antiarrthymic drugs if this continues.
Please stop smoking as smoking is not good for you!!
Hope this helps.
Take care..
