strange feeling in heart

I have a question.

if someone were having a very strange sensation in their chest, behind the sternum where the heart would be....the sensation feels like blood gushing through. it's just to weird to describe very well.
no pain. no shortness of breath, no lightheadedness....
but the beat of the heart feels a little bit off, like it's missing and this gushy feeling almost like when you have chest congestion but in the heart instead.
weird I know.
not sure what to do. it's probably nothing, but thought I would ask.
lasts only about a minute or less. but comes back.
does anybody know what this might be?

We call it "palpitations."

Would suggest you inform your doctor(s) about it.


Servant to the humblest person in the universe,

It's time for a trip to an ER for an EKG (ECG depending on where you actually are!) Don't mess around with a trip to your doctor's office unless he has an EKG machine on site - not many do.

That kind of sensation can be all manner of things, some of which are potentially life threatening, some are not, and a doctor needs to do a comprehensive checkup to know for sure. So it's absolutely worth getting checked out.
