? Dangerous arythmia

Hi I am 33 yo female. I weigh 39kg and am 157 cm. I am quite fit and exercise daily. I have recently been restricting my diet to attempt to reach about 38kg. This morning when I got up I was aware of strange sensations in my chest. When I checked my pulse I had about 2 normal heart beats on expiration and about 5 rapid weaker feeling heart beats on inspiration. This continued for about an hour. I went back to bed and eventually it settled down again. I am really worried now and scared to do anything! If this happens again what should I do? Is it likely to be a sign of anything dangerous? Is it something that my gp should know about even if it is not happening all of the time?
Thanks for your help.

First a small exercise for those who are more familiar with American weights and measures.  157 cm ~ 62' = 5' 2", and 39kg ~ 86 pounds.  Why you'd want to reduce your weight escapes me, maybe I made a mistake in my calculation on weight.  I used 2.2 pounds per kg.  

Anyway, I would discuss with a medical doctor.  That said, I do not fully understand the symptom you described.  How did you determine "weaker"?  Are you using you fingers on a pressure point, or listening using a stethoscope?   Did this repeat with each breath?

If you have no other symptoms I will guess you are not in an emergency condition but it would be best to check with your doctor.

Based on the numbers, I agree with Jerry.


If these *ARE* your numbers AND you are trying to reduce another kg: that process is going to KILL YOU - DEAD.

Yes the numbers are correct! I just want to drop a couple of pounds nothing drastic! What I was wondering though was if it was likely to be an electrolyte imbalance?
I took my pulse at my wrist and the pulses just felt less strong than normal.
