Is my heart normal? If i get a shock it slows right down like its about to stop?

Question

I've noticed if something really makes me jump like loud thunder waking me up if i feel my pulse it slows right down then it starts beating very fast. Is this normal or do i have something wrong with my heart?

Answer 1

That's normal, but don't do that to yourself too much. It could be dangerous.

Answer 2

You definately need to get in and see a cardiologist to make sure you dont have some type of arrhythmia. Some arrhythmias are okay and need to treatment, but other ones need treatment. But like I said, see the cardiologist and he'll probably put you on a holter monitor which you wear for a couple of days with leads hooked up to your body and it records any abnormal movement.

Answer 3

Doesn't sound abnormal but if you start having actual symptoms (chest pain, dizziness, feeling faint, etc) I'd see a doctor. It's a natural response to shock to experience a change in heart rate and blood pressure.

Answer 4

Please see a cardiologist so many things could cause this problem.Age ,hypertension,and worry etc,Once you get an EKG you can get help. It may be serious,It may not be,It is your life do not take a chance Good luck!

Answer 5

I don't think it's a heart disease. I dont think anything is reall serioudly worng with you but just in case you better see a doctor
