Is There Any Health Risk If Heart Stops Pumping For Split Second?

If your heart is not pumping properly for a split second, is it possible to feel this? i m trying to figure out the weir sensations I feel at times. They only last a second, but are very worrisome for me. I often feel that it is perhaps not an electrical issue rather an issue with the pumping mechanism.

Hi .I understand your concern about stopping heart. Heart pumps blood 24×7. It never stops even in rarest of cases not even for a fraction of second . It stops only when a person dies. So don't worry . Take care.
