I'm a 38 y.o. male. I've been having frequent skipped heartbeats (as in irregular) for several months. It suddenly started after just 3 weeks of a moderate exercise regime, but I wasn't able to get rid of it, even after stopping exercise. I'm sure you've come across with yourself and/or your clients/friends since heart rate is affected by exercise. My question is whether you yourself have experienced skipped beats (or irregular heart rhythm), and if so, how often did this happen to you, and do you think it was a consequence of your exercise? Did you consider your irregular heart rhythm to be normal or not a healthy sign of your heart? Please also answer these questions with regard to your clients as well as other fitness coaches who have experienced this, without mentioning names of course. Thank you very much!

Yes, I have had cardiac dysrhythmia (irregular heartbeats.) And yes, I have had patients and clients with it as well. It is not uncommon, in fact it is very common... BUT that does not mean that it is not a problem.I can't tell you why you are having them, or what to do about them specifically without more data. What I am certain about is that you must go to your doctor and have test done. This is the same advice I've given myself and others. Go to your doctor and get the necessary tests done to get clarity on the issue. Tests will most likely include blood labs, imaging, and other lab tests (i.e. stress tests, etc.) Do NOT mess around with your heart!
It may be something easy and simple like you are dehydrated, or low in magnesium. Or you may be low in testosterone. Or it may be something far more serious... We just don't know, until we know. So go get more intel.
Call and make an appoint now. Don't hesitate or assume it will resolve on its own.
All the best!
