So for the past couple years this happens every so often but when it does it seems to happen all day long and then stop for a couple weeks. Ill just be doing normal activities (driving watching t.v. etc...) and i will take a breath and it is like my heart skips a beat and then it pounds real hard then is normal. when it happens my chest gets tight and i cant breathe but when it happens it happens within a second. anything to be worried about? I'm 21, 6'2'', 162lbs, smoke 2-8 single ciggarettes daily, drink 6-18 beers daily, have crohns disease. i asked this question before and someone said it was GERD. but i dont see how thats possible cause i dont think ive ever experienced heartburn.

It's the smoking. When I was smoking a pack to 2 packs a day I would get chest pains. I quit smoking, and I don't get chest pains anymore nor do I have breathing problems, which I had previously.

I know exactly what you are talking about. This started with me when I was about 26. I had a Holter Monitor test that showed nothing. If it's not every single day and constant it is most likely nothing serious but you should consult a doctor to be sure.

sounds like runs of atrial fibrillation. your heart could be skipping a beat... have you had an ekg?? might be a good idea.
