Irregular heart beats being felt?!
Question: hi. i'm 26, female. for the past year i've been having irregular heart beats. it feels like my heart stops for a moment and then moves within my chest. pretty weird and very frustrating. i told it to my doctor, he thought i had a mitral valve regurge and sent me to get an echo which showed no MVR but very mild tricuspid regurg. the doctor said a lot of people have it and shouldn't cause any pb. but in fact it does, or it's something else i don't know. i always have it when i squat or when i make a deep breath, when i'm nervous too. yesterday i was about to go to ER, it was that bad. i even get dizziness and muscle weakness, maybe because i get so scarred. could this minor regurgitation cause such symptoms? do i need to have additional tests done? thank you in advance, i appreciate any response.

You should get a Holter monitor done for 24/48hrs or an event monitor to catch these symptoms on ECG and see what they really are. Ask your doctor about it.
You might have heart murmuring. There might some small hole in your heart that you have to get fixed.
GO 2 THE ER FAST!!!!!!!!!!
you could have a heart murmur!
my brother had that same thing.
YOUR HAVING ANXIETY
See a cardiologist - a GP shouldn't be handling those sorts of issues
I have MVP, and it doesn't happen all the time. You can have a completely normal EKG (because you're at rest) and it can kick in later when you're exerting yourself. Sometimes things can trigger it. Dehydration or being too hot. Smoking. Too much salt. If you're worried, get more tests but also...try to sort of 'log' when it happens and what you're doing and how you're feeling when it happens. It will give the doctors a little more information to go on. They may want to do a harness test. It couldn't hurt.
A SECOND OPINION IS ALWAYS BEST. ONE PERSON MIGHT NOT SEE WHAT THE OTHER SEES.... SOMETIMES THING SEEM TO GO AWAY WHEN YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR.. YOU KNOW WHEN YOUR MAKES A FUNNY NOISE AND THEN YOU TAKE IT IN AND IT DOESN'T MAKE THAT NOISE ANY MORE.. REALLY FRUSTRATING. I WOULD DEFIANTLY SEE ANOTHER DOCTOR ITS THE BEST WAY TO GO.. IF YOU DO NT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR DOCTOR GET ANOTHER ONE BUT YES DO GET ANOTHER RECOMMENDATION IF NOT 3 TOTAL
see a cardiologist please
