I have a symptom with my heart beat. every 40 beats or so, there is a 2 or 3 second pause followed by a very strong beat that i can feel through my chest, then my heart continues as normal. is this dangerous? i will see the doctor next tuesday?

Heart pause: I understand the concern; we are discussing the heart. What are concerning symptoms? Shortness of breath or chest with activity, light headiness, losing consciousness. How can one say that your symptoms are not concerning? A good examination is needed and probably testing the heart rhythm continuously for at least one full day. So, Ii wish I could answer this but this forum is not sufficient

Good idea.: What you describe sounds very much like an occasional premature beat. This is not uncommon in otherwise healthy individuals. Caffeine, carbonated drinks, emotion, exercise may occasionally cause. Your doctor will examine you, possibly do an ECG and may reassure you or refer you to a cardiologist. In the meantime, avoid caffeine, alcohol etc.
