I've had all the heart stuff...chest pains, palitations, ectopics...but now I'm having something I don't think I've had before. As of this morning I noticed what was like a twitching muscle in my neck...well turns out it's not a muscle it's my pulse! When I feel my pulse there it does several really fast fluttery beats in a row and then goes to normal before doing it again after a minute. Can these be ectopics that I don't feel in my chest? The ectopics I've felt before always feel like a strong flutter in the center of my chest that makes me jump, or a big thud. I don't feel anything in my chest other than a rapid h/r that I've had for a few days now. I get rapid h/r a lot but have never noticed this before.
WHen I went to the dr the other day and she listened to my heart she heard a few flip flops but I didn't feel anything. However, she said that my *pulse* was regular but my heartbeat had the irregularity. She said this can be quite normal. Well now it seems to be my pulse too! I don't think that's good, to actually feel a fluttering pulse. It's been going on all day!!
Fyi, I had been reassuring myself that my heart was okay because she told me she'd be more concerned if my pulse wasn't regular and now it's not! Could I have made my body do this because I was concerned about it happening???
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Thanks!
