What Causes The Feeling Of Heart To Stop And Start Beating Again?
sometimes my heart feel like it catches or stops and then picks back up again. this makes me feel uncomfortable in my upper chest area like a full feeling. no pain with it but uncomfortable and I can feel it when I take my pulse. I have had caffeine trigger this but have had it at other times and don't know what could have caused it. Should I be alarmed.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM for health query.
You have sort of low heart rate ,stop, high heart rate -suggestive of arrhythmias.
You also say caffeine precipitates it and it is true scientific.
You need to take up Holter monitoring which records your heart rhythm 24 hours.
Holter monitor is nothing but an external small device which is non invasive.
Hope this helps
