Anyone ever experience irregular heart beats while jogging?

I am a healthy 25 year old who jogs on a regular basis. Last week on the tread I notice that after my first mile my heart felt as though it was pause a beat. It freaked me out. So of course I stopped jogging. Once I stopped jogging, my heart rate seemed to correct itself. I have been jogging for years. Has anyone else ever experience this?

You'll want to go to a cardiologist and/or electrophysiologist to get a blood workup, stress echo and ecg. They can observe the morphology of your irregularities to assure you that nothing is wrong or to uncover more-serious problems that can be dealt with. These things are very commone but the downside risk is so bad that you should definitely get it checked out.

Was that a one-time only event, or is it ongoing?  If it isn't ongoing there seems to be nothing to worry about.
