A member asked:
I sometimes feel an extra thump in my heart beat what could that be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At your age...: Almost always a normal finding. We all experience 'extra'. Pre premature atrial or ventricular beats infrequently. Sometimes, these are sensed by the individual but many time not. If they are infrequent for you, and you have no other symptoms and are not consuming lots of coffee or addicted to red bull, you should be fine.
