I was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar before and if it was a one time thing and what it could mean.
Last night when going to bed I could feel my heart beat (I almost always can, especially when focusing on it) and it was not consistent. I would have about 5-6 normal beats at regular spaced intervals, then followed by a double beat, followed by a pause, followed by a few normal beats and then the cycle would repeat itself.
At first I thought it was an artifact from laying in a strange position maybe - so I felt my veins in the neck and later on the wrist and it was the same thing. I used an app on my phone intended to measure heart rate via optical sensor, which also displays the optical response of the finger, and also there I could see the same pattern - regular beats followed by a double beat and then a short pause.
Yesterday was a rather hard training day (training has been a struggle the whole week) but I felt healthy otherwise with no symptoms of anything unusual. I would never have known the HR rhythm was off had I not felt it accidentally. This morning (or now) the rhythm is steady, showing normal beats and no hesitations or double beats.
Any thoughts? Google says it's probably something common and unlikely to be of concern but I'm keeping my eye on it anyways, but was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.
