I am a 31 year old female. I smoke cigarettes. My heart has been beating funny for the past month. I went to the doc yesterday and he ordered blood tests which I had today and then I have an ECG on monday. The doctors said that my heart is having extra beats. When it happens, it feels like a flop in my chest. I am trying not to freak out about it. My father died at 28 from heart failure, although drugs were involved in his death. If anyone has any words of wisdom, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

It sounds like you are having pvc`s (premature ventricular contractions) for the most part they are harmless but with you family history I would stay on top of it till you know what is causing them. I am sure your doc will tell you to stop smoking it can make the ayyhthmias worse.
