No idea what this is

It feels like my heart is quivering in my chest for 3-4 seconds, the normal strong beat is not there and so it scares me that my heart might have stopped, there are very faint and fast quivers or fast beats that I can barely feel through my chest wall (hand on chest) then my heart slowly goes up to normal the beats getting stronger each time (starting from weak to strong), I get a weird vague feeling and feel empty intside when it happens, I wouldn't say dizzy.

Well I'll find out tomorrow hopefully in my apointment. I think one got caught, it happened so fast, but the next day I had a much more noticeable one after i took the holter off....unfortunately.. if it isn't anything showing on the holter, I'll describe it very detailed to him and see what he says. I know how to bring them on anyway, I need to be fatigued /tired, then I usually get one.

i am 18 years old and have that problem. i was in the icu for about 6 days. usually an ablation will fix your problem. they might have to do an ep study to see if your signals are out of order.  i had an ablation and i am on beta blockers to. its not rare. just make sure you do a lot of research about this. abd also when it does this, it might usually go for secs to mins then back to normal. it will keep getting more frequent, sometimes the heart might just give and your rate will sky rocket. thats what happened with me. it went from 70 to 260 and didnt go back down
