Hard or forceful beats are merely the consequence of increased cardiac force, a mechanism induced by the cardiac center in the brain as a result of feedback concerning blood pressure. Realize that the most predominant goal relating to blood pressure is to maintain perfusion to the brain, or adequate blood pressure and circulation, the absence of which would result in unconsciousness. Many instances can induce brief downward spikes in blood pressure, including benign palpitation events. Baroreceptors, or pressure sensors, in the ascending carotid arteries sense these changes and send feedback to the cardiac center in the brain, which responds by quickly increasing cardiac force. This is the most rapid method for restoring blood pressure to ensure perfusion at adequate levels.
Indeed, there is no need to worry about the palpitation events because they do not constitute a warning sign at all. They are nothing more than the rough equivalent of a muscle twitch that you might experience elsewhere in the body, with the exception that the muscle in this instance happens to be the heart. You are fearful because you are speculating about the capacity of the events to do you harm. They have no such capacity and are entirely dissociated from any type of arrhythmia which could be of concern. Realize that palpitations which occur from within the heart result from factors that are challenging the heart's ability to perform. By contrast, vagus nerve-induced palpitations merely constitute wayward nerve impulses which cause tissues to respond. The fact that the heart muscle is extremely dynamic and in motion during such stimulation causes the affected individual to sense what feels to be a disruption of their heart's rhythm. Realize that the momentary disruption is not of the electrical system which maintains your heart's function, but merely an additional nerve impulse which produces reaction by the muscle tissues themselves.
You're in no danger whatsoever as a result of the presence of benign palpitations. I was a physician and specialist for more than 40 years and in all that time, I never even once heard of a case wherein a patient succumbed to any type of cardiac event or harm whatsoever as a result of experiencing benign palpitations of the type that you and others on this forum are experiencing. Not one. In fact, I know of no such recorded case in the annals of medical literature as well.
Benign is benign and there is no gray area which can be cast upon such a premise.
You can engage your business all you care to without fear that the palpitation events are placing you at risk. They are not, nor will they ever because they lack the actual capacity to do so. They are the consequence of stress and anxiety but do not impose a health risk. The less you become afraid of them, the less they will occur because in actuality, it is the fear which is producing changes in physiological response and compelling their presence.
You're going to be just fine. Your tests will turn out entirely negative and you are in no danger whatsoever.
Best regards and Good Health
