This may be an indicator for arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is a con-
dition where the heart rhythm is abnormal as a result of de-
fects in the bioelectrical system controlling the heart beat. The
symptoms (omitted or premature heart beats, slow or exces-
sively fast heart rate) may be caused, among other things, by
heart disease, age, physical predisposition, excessive use of
stimulants, stress or lack of sleep. Arrhythmia can only be as-
certained through examination by your doctor.
