A member asked:

When my heart is beating normally i get an extra strong beat / thud followed by a pause then normal rhythm resumes? what am i experincing. echo normal

An irregular heart: beat is what you are experiencing. This could come from upper of lower chamber of the heart. You need additional tests such as holter monitor, ekg, chest x-ray. See a heat specialist.
