Two of my three children have an irregular heartbeat and I was told after I had my third child that I also have an irregular heartbeat. My doctor says this is very common and three out of four people have it. My oldest daughter was sent for an EKG when she was very small for it, but nothing really turned up. This has not caused any of us any problems and none of us take medication for it. I would have to assume that yours is worse than ours. Good luck.

I had an echocardiogram, an electrocardiogram and also wore a 24-hour Holter monitor. The holter showed my heart rate getting as low as 46 beats per minute and as high as 150 beats per minute. It also showed that my heart skips sometimes. The cardiologist put me on Atenolol to help regulate my heartbeat. I have been on it for 3 days and can already tell that it is helping some. I was just curious as to what other people with this problem have experience and what they have been told about it. Thanks for the response!!
