Open Question: I feel a slight arythmia at sudden changes of position?
I recently feel a heart beat for a short while, whenever I bend down to pick up something, or I sit down quickly. It lasts only for a couple of seconds. I am 60, and underwent coronary angiography a year ago, which indicated normal, except for a “mild LAD lesion”. The doctors withdrew nitroglycerine and placed me on Metoral at 25 mg a day. I usually run for half an hour at a mild speed (considering my age), and feel no pain so long as I am running at mild speed. At faster speeds I may feel some pain, which disappears in the course of running and without having to interrupt, just by slowing down. Am I likely to have a condition?
I noticed that this kind of rhythm fluctuations are called “heart palpitations”.
