How do you know this?? If he has seen a doctor then I'm sure it will be managed appropriately. If you just happen to feel the odd irregular beat, then this is perfectly normal in most people. If the beat is always irregular then get it checked out if you haven't already...there are many treatments available. Don't ignore it though...just don't panic because it isn't likely to be the end of the world.

The most common type of irregular heartbeat in a young fit male is called sinus arrhythmia. Basically the heart beats faster and slower inresponse to breathing in and out. this is totally harmless.
If you are worried or experience symptoms of fatigue, breathlessness, pain, blackouts, contact your doctor for an ECG. A quick painless look at the heartbeat

how do you know this is he under a dr. if not he needs to get an ecg. This is an echo cardio gram. This will find out if there is a problem. All they do is stick some pads on your chest connect some wires to a machine and take a reading for about 10 to 20 mins. This will give an indicaiton of any problem or no problem. Don't stress about it get it checked then you will both know if theres a real problem or nothing to worry about just put your mind at ease so you can chill out stress could make it worse.
hope this helps !

This could be a result of a faulty timing circuit in the heart. One cause of that condition can be corrected by a fairly simple surgery -- it involves using a catheter to attack some surplus material in the heart and does not require opening the chest cavity. It should be checked out by a specialist.

This can be normal (sinus arrhythmia), or if it is a fast rate could be atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, both should be evaluated by an MD. If he is very athletic, this could be the cause. . .smoker? Drugs can also cause the heart to beat irregularly. In any case, it would be a good idea to see a doctor, especially if he gets light-headed or faint.

properly, i'll't say something undesirable about smoking pot, reason I did it for years, too. that is relaxing, no doubt, yet when you're experiencing risky undesirable facet consequences, then that is time to provide up. Are you confident that your boyfriend is in common words smoking pot and by no ability taking something else, too? i'm a cardiovascular ICU nurse, and that i have never heard of someone having a heart attack from in basic terms smoking weed. it is also tremendously no longer plausible to charm to close that you've been "4 beats away froma a heart attack". i wager i do not realize what you advise by technique of that. So, to respond to your question, no, that isn't any longer problem-free. i have by no ability heard of it earlier. yet kudos to both one among you for quitting. you'd be more effective perfect, more effective effective human beings! I understand the "lacking it" yet eventally you'll locate different activities that are a lot more effective relaxing! good success!

The causes and the effects are wideranging : from the innocent occasional extrasystoles to life threatening situations.
He needs to be examined by his doctor with an appropriate referral to a cardiologist, if indicated .
A medically qualified professional is in the most ideal position to assess and sort it out,
Best wishes.

irregular heart beat can be something simple / benign or it can be dangerous...
In some people... heart rate fluctuates with the respiration... its simple to check... keep your fingers on his pulse and tell him to take a =deep breath and hold it.... if the rhythm of his heartbeat remains normal.... most probably it is NOT the dangerous one... it is called "Sinus Arrhythmia"....
If it keeps on to be irregular even on holding breath... then it could be something dangerous.. get an EKG and see a doc

It isnt necessarily serious eg some people have ectopic (extra) beats. He should get it checked though, and then you can find out if it is serious or not. It's better to know these things than worry.
