Originally posted by Orbax people get that weird arrythmia in their hearts sometimes where it stops for a second and you kind of stop breathing and it does a hard lug and then its normal again. yes im probably dying, its probably cancer, and its not a tumah

Just a palpitation. Not abnormal for most people occasionally, although unhealthy habits like smoking seem to exacerbate them.

I seem to get them a few times a month though :s

lay off the steriods

A properly placed corkscrew punch to the chest stop your heart for a moment (if there's enough intensity). If your heart is already stopped, the punch will probably kill you.

Be careful.

And yes, get it checked out immediately.

is it after any "recreational" activities? i find that the day after, my heartbeat can get a little irregular, and when i inhale it hurts a little for a second.

Not a bad idea to mention it on your next checkup, but don't get too freaked out just yet.

yeah, exercise is usually when it happens...also said Alcamahol is a factor...but I stopped drinking so we'll see if that does anything.
