Not a week goes by that I don’t see someone in cardiology consultation for skipping, jumpy heart beats. It is a common problem- a problem that worries many people.
Why? It’s unnerving to feel your heart beating.
Most people are rarely aware of their heart’s movement in their chests. So when a person suddenly can feel their heart, thumping erratically it often sends them to the doctor.
Should you be worried? Should you be concerned if you feel your heart missing a beat?
