A member asked:
Is it normal for there to be a pause in pulse after every 2 normal beats?

Heart beat: Your heart rate and rhythm should be normal - it takes a trained professional to properly assess a heartbeat. A pause in the heart rate is usually harmless but sometimes can be associated with heart problems.

Not normal.: This is not a normal finding. The reason for this needs to be clarified via heart monitoring.
