Occasional skipped heartbeats are generally not a cause for concern.
Most people, even those without any heart conditions, will experience skipped heartbeats from time to time. According to medical information, occasional skipped beats are not a problem. This phenomenon is often harmless and is usually not an indication of serious heart issues.
Here's a breakdown of what this means:
- Skipped beats are common: It's a normal experience for many people.
- Not usually a sign of disease: Most of the time, these irregularities do not mean you have a heart problem.
- Occasional occurrences are generally harmless: The sporadic nature of these skipped beats is important; they become a concern if they happen frequently.
While occasional skipped beats are normal, you should consult a healthcare provider if you experience:
- Frequent skipped beats.
- Chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness along with skipped beats.
- A family history of heart conditions.
- If you are unsure or feel anxious about your symptoms.
