I have been suffering with these fast beats off and on since my son was born and I was 20 at the time,. I am now 34 and seem to have an episode every few years, or so. It always seems to be provoked by bending over, I feel an odd sensation in my chest and I stand up quickly only to find my heart is thumping extremely fast and sometimes irregular, like its skipping. I feel like I am going to pass out any second :$ and I get really scared and confused a bit too. I then sit down and the dizziness subsides and shortly after that my heart goes right back to normal. I also have had heart skips off and on too. They are uncomfortable and scary too because I never know when its going to jump into one of these episodes. Ive had holter monitors, Ekg's and Echo, all normal. They said I will not die and I havent yet after about 15 of these episodes, but everytime it happens I get really scared. o.O

Have you tried laying down flat on the floor when you experience one of these episodes?
It's not unusual for some to feel faint when standing up quickly after bending over. It can be a sign of low blood pressure, but passes upon bending over again or sitting down. Placing the head between the knees can also clear this.
Good luck.
Perhaps someone else can comment.

So when you've gone to the doctor, they haven't diagnosed you with an irregular heartbeat or anything like that? I know that sometimes your heart will beat incorrectly, even if you're totally healthy. Have you been checked for arrhythmia or anything like that?

no , I dont get dizzy after I stand up, i get the irregular heart beats first and then dizzy from them, one time I was in a tanning bed and I felt this wierd thump, I slowly got up, got dressed as it was completely irregular and as soon as I bent down slowly, I saw stars and thought I was gonna pass out. I didnt TG and i went to the bathroom and splashed very cold water on my face, and then it went away.
