That's the normal heart sound. Lub-Dub. Crisp, regular, and strong. 60 to 100 beats per minute.
Amazing, actually that most of our hearts function for so long without difficulty. They do an incredible amount of work, and never rest. They should be:
Lub-Dub. Lub-Dub. Lub-Dub.
But mine keeps doing this (without purpose, reason, or written notice)
lubdublubdublubdublubdub . . .
Irregular, 120 to 180 beats per minute, and not so strong. And there I am - a little dizzy, out of breath, and sometimes a little scared.
So, now I'm wearing a little box and sticky electrodes to try to capture these brief episode when my heart goes a bit balistic. I'm hoping it'll work, and most of all that it will be easy to fix.
