Hi,
No, there is no such rhythm called a paranormal heart beat. You mention bigeminy. This is when there is an abnormal beat every second beat and can occur intermittently. This would appear to be what you are experiencing. This can occur in fit healthy people with no consequence on their health. As you mentioned that you are under the care of a cardiologist then I would assume that your cardiologist is satisfied that you do not need any treatment for this.
Regards,
Dr K A Pottinger
