What Causes Sudden Stopping Of Heart Beat For Few Seconds?
I was about sleeping yesterday when my heart stopped for a second or two. I panicked but the heart resumed its function. Shall I go seek medical help? thank you. I am a healthy 53 year old woman. I am very active and have never had any health problems. Thank you for your answer.
hi thanks for asking question. You have feeling like stopped heartbeat only for once at night. So i don't think it has to be concerned much. Take your pulse.It should be between 60 to 100.and regular , rhythmic. If you still have worry then simply you can take your ECG or Echocardiography to rule out whether ectopic beat present or not. Dont worry about that. I hope my suggestion will hep you. Thanks for contacting HCM.
