Have you ever been lying in bed and had your heart stop briefly? Only to have it resume with a massive one-off catch up beat? Well, we’ve had this checked out recently and apparently it’s nothing to be concerned about (in our case, anyway. You may want to get your own heart checked out for piece of mind). The time to be concerned is when you start getting some heart irregularities WHILE you’re exercising.
The explanation we received: Everyone’s heart skips a beat now and again, but most people don’t notice. It’s when your heart rate rate is low enough and your heart is big enough that one can really feel the missed beat. The missed beat allows your heart to fill up with more blood than normal, and when it’s ready to fire again — KaBaaaammm, you get a pounding that can shake the bed.
