Is an occasional irregular heartbeat anything to worry about?
And by occasional I mean one-time, very brief.
I was warming up in preparation to do some sprints and plyometrics last week when all of a sudden I didnt feel too good at all (stomach was a little cramped). I thought it was nothing, so I did a jogging lap to warm up a bit. All of a sudden my chest cramped up and I felt my heartbeat skip all over the place...long pauses, followed by rapid beats, followed by big, profound thumping beats, then another long pause, then one beat, long pause, etc...stuff like that. It probably lasted about a minute. I stopped, went home, ate, and everything was fine.
Nothing to worry about?

Are you taking diuretics?
I would go to your GP.
A lot of people are born with minor congential heart defects which can predispose them to heart problems.
Best not to ignore things, get yourself in for an exercise stress test and some blood work

I'll second this.

I think that a lot of people have heart defects, but if you live a sedentary life, you're probably not going to notice it until you're old. Whereas, if you're pushing your body (from weight training, marathon running, etc.), you're going to see the affects a lot sooner.
It's like the difference between have a problem valve on a VW Bug and a problem valve on a Ferrari Maranello.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Although it's pretty rare for anything serious to happen as a result of exercise, it does happen. Play it safe and consult with your doctor.
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

I've had this happen too, but it seems to be directly correlated to my eating. For a while I had been eating a lot of greasy shit, like hamburger patties, bacon, pepperonis, eggs, then I began to noticed funny heart beating. As soon as I quit eating that stuff it went away.
Then again just recently I had been eating a lot of whole eggs, and my heart started acting up again although I felt fine. I quit eating the eggs and it went away. =/ I haven't felt it since."Yeah! They isolate the muscles. The muscle has to grow....or die." - Cosmo Kramer

The difference that is when you Ferrari dies on a date, you look like a cheap bastard. But when your VW dies, it's "kinda cute". Originally Posted by Gazhole

Sorry...no, I don't use any caffeine based supplements. Nor do I drink coffee or soda or anything like that.
And my diet was totally regular that day...everything was totally on track. Maybe I'll talk to my doctor just to play it safe.
