A member asked:

What to do if i have been having this problem for a long time, sometimes my heart stops for less than a milisecond, i freak?

????: If you have a normal heart rate (let's say, 72 beats per minute), your normal heart stops for 830 milliseconds between every beat. That's how it works.
