Just a couple of days ago my hubby was in class and he said his heart started beating really fast.............so fast that he could see his shirt slighty move where his chest is. The weird part is that he was just sitting there............is that normal? He is very fit and works out regularly so I know he is healthy...........should I worry or not take it too seriously? Has this ever happend to anyone before?

That is not normal and your hubby should schedule a complete physical with his doctor. People assume that because you are in good physical condition it acts as a buffer from ailments. Pro athletes have just fallen over and died because of unknow heart ailments several times each year. Hopefully it is something minor like stress or anxiety. It is better to be sure than to be sorry.

Strange. Normally an increased heart rate is due to some form of excersize but since he was in class I would tend to doubt that was the reason. Unless of course the person teaching the class was a hottie and he was shall we say EXCITED...just kidding.

Its probably nothing, but to put yourself at ease, you could go to a doc and have him run the proper tests to see if his heart is under stress for any reason. I wouldnt worry.

it could be stress. but i'm not a doctor but i would sugest he needs to go to the doctor and get it checked out they can run an ekg in the office and run a few lab tests on him just to make sure

You say nothing of age or stress factors ... but from your general description - I, too, would guess anxiety.

Ive had it happen to me on multiple occasions. its just out of the the blue and happens about once a year or so for me. i dunno what it is. but i havent died yet. im sure dr's will just give you some antibiotics and call it a day like they do to most things.

Your husband should see a doctor right away.

could be tachycardia, which is controllable with proper medication.
