A member asked:
I'm 22, in good health, sometimes my heart randomly beats hard for 3 or 4 beats then stops. it normally causes me to cough once. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart beats: Probably normal. But could be episodic supra ventricular tachycardia or paroxysmal afib. Your coughing is sort of a telex that is cardioverting you back into normal rhythm.
