Although I've had the odd "extra heartbeat" (not as much an irregular heartbeat) for many years now
- decades, in fact - over the past few years it's gone really severe - sometimes every heartbeat.
I've had all sorts of tests done, including an ECG, a 24 hour Holter Monitor, Ultra Sound and a
stress test. All tests indicate that the extra heartbeat is not dangerous - I often tend to hop on
my bicycle when it happens, so I am certain it's not dangerous, however it's driving me crazy,
especially at night. This, of course, is probably not the problem the original poster has. In my
case the "extra heartbeat" is definitely tripped off by stress. then it stays like that for weeks,
sometimes months. In my case, I know what I need - to retire to Cairns, and sit at the Mosman Gorge
park, next to the Mosman River, and watch Ulysses butterflies sail by as I read a book.....
