Title: not for me but for my wife
Post by richie on Aug 18^th, 2012, 8:33am

Dear Dr Rane,

My wife is lately having a lot of skipped heartbeats. She always had some but not so many .
She isnt bothered about them all. isnt worried at all.
She jogs, is not overweight, has normal low bloodpressure. She doesnt feel bad or weak having them .
She made a mistake. she told me..
Now I worry for her.
Her heart is never tested.
So I dont know if its ok or not.
I know skipped beats in a healthy heart doesnt matter that much, but I dont know if her heart is healty.
I mean she never is tested.
She sometimes has more than one skipped beats in a minute or following eachother. she feels this in rest. so when sitting, laying down or standing but not while moving she says..
Is she right by ignoring it, or should she visit our doctor about it and get this tested?

Has she gone in for a physical by her doctor? She may have mentioned them to her Doctor already.... If her Doc wasn't concerned you should rest easy as well....
