i'm a 58 year old male who has an unusual
problem. I call it unusual because
everytime I see a doctor about it, the
symptoms are not there. I usually
experience a very irregular heartbeat
after eating, probably eating more than I
should have. I'm 6-3 and weight 200lbs
so I don't consider myself overweight. I
can feel my heart stop for 2-3 seconds in
my cartoid artery. Sometimes if it stops
long enough, I start to feel dizzy and
sick. How can I approach getting a
diagnosis of this problem and has anyone
else out there experienced this sort of
thing? Thank you.

Look up premature ventricular
contractions--or premature artial
contractions. That is what happened to
my son, they say his heart is fine, but he
has these after caffeine, chocolate, any
kind of stimulant
