I have had what I call "heart thingies" since I was in my late teens. All of a sudden my heart would flutter and feel weird and feel like it skipped beats. It used to scare me but after a while I stopped worrying about it since nothing else happened. When I was in my late 20s and happened to mention it to my doctor she had me wear a monitor for 24 hours. The results were that I had runs of supra ventricular tachycardia (SVTs). I was told that lots of otherwise healthy people have them and MOST of the time have no trouble from them. She told me if they really bothered me I could go on medication to control them. I decided not to. I'm now 41 and still have them. I tend to notice them before falling asleep at night, maybe just because everything else is quiet then and they are more noticable. Sometimes they are strong and last for a while and I get a little nervous but usually just shifting into a different position makes them go away. I like to put my finger on the pulse in my neck when they happen. You can actually feel the speeded heart rate and the skips. It's kind of cool. They have never given me any trouble. Just make sure that all doctors know about this before anesthesia or anything. My oral surgeon refused to take out my wisdom teeth at his office and had me do it in the hospital instead. I did fine. Same with the knee surgery I just had. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless your doctor gives you reason to be concerned. good luck and let us know what your doctor says.
Skies,
D :P
