Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am concerned about an irregular heartbeat. At rest when checking heart rate I get two beats then skip one, three beats then skip one, 4 or five beats thenskip one, then it might go 15 beats before it skips. If I do something strenuous then heartbeat stays fairly normal.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that heart rate is ever changing phenomena which depends on your activity level, emotions and physical factors.
But if you're feeling skipped beats, then kindly get an ECG and Holter (ambulatory ECG) to evaluate if any arrhythmic disorder is present.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
