A member asked:
Recently my heart has been beating a bit faster than usual and when im in bed trying to sleep it will beat an "extra" beat feels like it skips a beat?

Probably normal: Most often, this "extra" beat is a early beat from the bottom heart chambers (premature ventricular complex- pvc). These can more often be noticed when it is quiet (like bedtime). Definitive diagnosis is made with a holter monitor, or an event monitor. An echocardiogram can be considered to ensure there is no abnormal heart structure. Abnormal thyroid function can also be a cause.

See MD: You need to be equated by an md. Need clinical check, lab tests, holter monitoring, before treatment!
