What Causes Hard Heart Beats?
Hello my name is Brian. A little about me I'm 5 '6 and 231. My issue is I have single noticed hard heart beats. Just one per time. My bp is 120/70 and ppulse is around 60 to 65 but it only occurs when I'm resting not during exercise. My family has no heart disease and i am 37. My fan doc said I'm stressed which I am but it is very unsettling

Dear Mr. Brain ,
I think you have what is called ( Extrasystole ) , it is a strong noticeable heart beat comes every now and then escaping from ten normal beats at least . It is due to stress or anxiety as your doctor said . You should know that the normal heart may experience an extrasystole , so don't worry , it will go away with the stress . But you should do ECG just for routine examination .
I hope that is satisfy to you ,
welcoming any question from you
