Question

Answer 1

Have you ever heard of punctuation!!

Yes this can happen, If it's not causing him any issues, it could just be normal for him, go back to the Cardiologist if you have any concerns.

Answer 2

Its not unusal, some people have an 'irregular heartbeat' for years and years and it never causes any problems, the problems come if the rate is too fast or too slow along with this. So now he has the pacemaker it will kick in if the rate becomes too high or low (depending on what he got it for in the first place) and the rest of the time it may still be irregular but as long as its at a normal rate it will not cause him any problems and is def not dangerous.

Answer 3

I have pallapatations(same thing). I have been on a beta blocker by the nam of "Atenolol". Feeling my heart beat irregularly(skipping) would cause me stress... However it has not yet caused any heart problems.

I have been using Atenolol for approx 6 years now. The added benefit is that Atenolol is also used for high blood pressure, so it serves as a protection if you will.

I dont feel the skipping or irregularity so I dont get stressed out.

Contact your doctor and find out what I'm telling you is true..

God Bless...

By the way....I am "Messenger Woman's" Husband...
