I have these. It is where the heart gives a random extra beat every now and again. It feels like butterflies or an odd thumping in your chest. They are pretty much harmless.
I was diagnosed with these after having a week long heart monitor fitted as I was suffering from sinus tachycardia. The Consultant told me they were absolutely nothing to worry about.
In all honesty, they have never bothered me much but lately, over the past few weeks or so, they have significantly increased in frequency and strength to the point where if I am sitting still or lying down, I feel them a lot (I can usually ignore them)
Does anyone else have this? Are you aware of how often you have them and do they happen at certain times? I don't really want to bother the GP with it and waste a valuable appt only to be told it is perfectly normal and to just continue to ignore them.
Thanks
