: I 've experiencing an extra beat for the past five days. They persist through out the entire day. Probably between 200-300 extra beats per day. In between the extra beats I have a steady heart. I don't experience any pain or light headedness at all. They started shortly after I had approximately 6 cups of hot tea. I normally don't consume that much caffeine to begin with so that was probably the culprit. But it's been five days now and the extra beats have not subsided at all. I would think after a days the effects of the caffeine would disipate. How long should I expect, approximately, for the extra beats to continue? It is extrememly annoying living with them do to the fact that they are so constant through out the entire day. Sometimes one after the other. Is there anything I could do besides the obvious of eliminating the caffeine which I have done? Will a cardio work out help at all?
: Thank you very much

David,
I think you should see a doctor, just to be sure everything is fine, which Im sure it ill be. If everything is fine, then possibly the caffiene plus a little stress (anxiety) might be the explanation. I know sometimes I have a feeling that my heart skips a beat, which actually I dont believe it really is, but thats the only way I can explain the feeling, an sometimes the left side of my chest feels very heavy, Im not sure what that is. Stress doesnt have to always be bad things, perhaps you just have alot going on. An believe me it doesnt make the heart act a little funny sometimes. So go get checked out just to be sure, an then go from there.
GoodLuck
Carrie
