Feel a strong heart beat go through my body

[cookienena]

I have been having this symptom for a while and was wondering if anyone else ever experienced anything similiar. It is so hard to explain but I will try. It feels like just one strong heart beat goes through by body and then stops. This might happen a few times on and off. Does anyone have any ideas what this might be?

I dunno what it is..I've had it before a couple times too, when I was lying down.

I have this happen to me also. It started when I was in college and my mom was worried that it might be a heart murmur so she had me have an EKG done and come to find out it was extra heartbeats. That was about 13 years ago and I still get them every so often, it is a very strange feeling that is hard to describe to anyone who hasn't experienced it. I'm not sure if you are female or have been pregnant but I will tell you with my first pregnancy the extra heartbeat thing got really bad, probably due to the extra blood pumping through my body for the baby. If you are really worried about this I would suggest seeing your doctor to rule out anything more serious.

When I was 8, I started having heart palpitations. It kinda feels like you are having a strong hard heartbeat. And it kind of makes you feel funny for a split second. Kind of short of breath or something. I went to a specialist because they were concerned that it could be a clogged heart valve. But it wasnt, it was just an innocent heart murmur. I do have it rechecked every so often, just to make sure that nothing has changed. So far I have a healthy heart. I also get chest cramps sometimes when I take a deep breath. The doctor told me to stretch my upper body out until it goes away. I guess I am kind of a freak of nature. But I have had them every so often for 20 years and will forever. If you are concerned about it, or have a history or heart problems in your family, I would get it checked out. That way you know.
