A member asked:

I'm experiencing irregular heart beats on a daily basis. my heart will start to race and "half pump" for 5-10 seconds and then one long slow pump will happen before going back to normal causing a small wave of euphoria. any thoughts?

Heartbeat: Irregular heartbeats need to be looked at by your doctor ASAP. Please see doc or go to emergency room. They can lead to a medical emergency if not treated. Peace and good health. Treatment is available.

Consultation : With cardiologist is your best option You need EKG and likely 24 hour monitoring of your heart beat
