Alex.loves.boys Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) hi, the past day or so my heart feels like its been skipping a beat, i reasearched it, and found out that it is actually a premature beat and that once you notice it its hard to not notice it, i've read mixed things on this syaing that it will be fine and some saying to consult a doctor.i was wondering if anyone else has had this?its not a 24/7 thing, but its weird it comes and goes..cheersedit:posted in wrong sectionsorry Edited June 11, 2007 by alext Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltWaterHippo Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Maybe you're not working your heart enough, try riding while you're erect and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 i ride everyday and i have to go up a hill on my way home, so probably not that, depends on fitness levels though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Mine sometimes beats harder every so often. I do notice it, buts its not like every other day. Once a month IF that! Gets any worse..... doctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hI-OOPS-CAPS Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 caffeine does that, if you drink too much, or eat alot of chocolate thatll be the cause.the greatest thing that helps is not thinking about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 It'll totally depend on how often the beats are, when they come on etc. Lots of people have 'ectopic' beats which are just random extra beats every now and again which might be what you mean, and are nothing to worry about. If you're worried about it, go see a doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousertrials Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Mate the best thing you can do is go and see you doctor and chat about it. Do not post on a trials forum and try and expect a coherent answer to medical problems. your doctor will possibly dismis your cardiac events but maybe he would want you to pop down to your local hospital and have an ECG done some blood test and a full history. People drop dead with heart problems so its not worth messing about. As for the previos poster saying try riding erect, thats nonsense. you could have one in a number of things, ie long QT syndromebbba sensitive sinoatrial nodeforamen ovalehypertrophiabut to name a few of the patholigies of the heartSmoking can have effects on heart conductivity, so best stop it if you do!!I possibly proved myself wrong by giving a semi coherent answer!

Fixed Pants™ Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I used to sometimes get palpitations (before last year. Not anymore, thank god) which is where your heart beats fast for no reason for a period of time (that's my understanding of it) but since i had a quite bad, in comparison to previous ones, i changed diet, stopped drinking fizzy drinks, cut down majorly on chocolate, don't ever eat crisps and will only eat fast food (maccy deez or something) if i'm in the middle of nowhere, haven't eaten all day and really need something in my stomach.Try to have less caffine, i've cut out loads and i've been pretty good since.Still, go to your doctor. I went to a hospital doctor and spoke to her about it, the problem is, if you can't predict when it's gonna happen, they can't really give you a heart rate monitor thing. So, my 'problem' can't be diagnosed as they weren't there to assess it when it happens.Take it easy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, my 'problem' can't be diagnosed as they weren't there to assess it when it happens.There are ways around it, but they're expensive and presumably your doctor didn't think it necessary. You can wear 24 hour (Holter) ECG machines and even get a machine implanted which can last for a couple of years.I had a friend, and his heart rate used to randomly 'jump' to around 200+ bpm, and he'd go dizzy and pass out. Not good. He had that investigated (with a 24 hour ECG I think) and he had what's called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (look it up if you're interested). He's since had a procedure on his heart (thermal ablation) and he's all fine. I'm not saying you've got anything like that though, I'm sure you don't. People just get palpitations from time to time.

T-Lite Man Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I get it too it's not often but the fact all i drink is coffee could explain alot. Just finished a coffee and it was brilliant, love coffee but looks like i got to cut it down ahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 P.S. Google 'Carotid Sinus massage'.Yeah, when i had my bad one, when the quick response doctor (not ambulance) came he told me about that. I've tried it once or twice, but they don't seem to last long enough for me to need it (thank f**k)My heart races when i sneeze anyone else get it?

Andy P Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I've suffered from a very strong fast heartbeat from time to time. It will just happen randomly - always whilst riding. The beating is so hard and strong that you can actually see my chest moving through my tshirt and hoodie etc.Its also not strictly related with just being knackered, as I can lie down to relax for 45mins and it will still be going as fast. Makes me feel very dizzy and weak.Went to the doctor and was told I have Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).SVT LINKAndy P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
