Could be inner ear or high blood pressure

I'm assuming you had a resting EKG which looked okay?\n\nYour sinus node is most likely "sick" as they say in medical speak (sick sinus syndrome).  If you're asymptomatic, then they will probably do nothing about it.  If you become symptomatic or your blood pressure starts to drop---they may recommend a pacemaker.   Good Luck.

NSR is normal sinus rhythm...the SA node (the sinoatrial node) or sinus node.....old archaic nomenclature...the SA node is what initiates the electrical impulse that triggers the atria to contract (via the interatrial pathway), then electrical stimulus goes to the AV node (atrioventricular node, via the internodal pathway) and stimulates that to begin the ventricles to fire, but the electrical impulse travels down the bundles of HIS (pronounced hiss) and futher to the purkinge system wqhich stimulates the ventricles to contract.  The two ventricles are much larger then the atria, so they require the right and left bundles of his and their own sets of purkinge fibres.\ni hope that id did not confuse you with the anatomy...\nnow to your question....the timer in the SA node may be off a little and does not beat with a regularity...x     x     x     x     x     x     x     x, but may beat like this:     x          x     x    x   x  x      x         x   x   x x      x      x    x   x      x     x        x ...this can be a normal configuration and no harm can come from it unless it becomes atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (where the atria now beats 150-300 times a minute and the ventricles can't depolarize and repolarize that fast.  Then there are problems like clotting,  congestive heart failure, loss of atrial kick....\nsorry, i got off on a tangent...\ngood luck

Also known as SVTs, it describes a very rapid heart rate. It would be helpful to know the underlying rhythm (ie: atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, etc...) If you find out, post this question again. It would be helpful to know a few other things about you, so I'll have to give a broad answer. The heart is unique tissue that beats when it receives electrical impulses (you may have seen actors who pose as "dead patients" on t.v. get "shocked" in the ER with electricity to help their hearts beat again). With SVTs, a part of your heart gets "excited" and starts to shoot off it's own electrical impulses, which can cause the heart to beat out of rhythm, and very fast. You should see a cardiologist and have a few tests such as a 12-Lead EKG, 2d echo, holter monitor, blood & thyroid tests, and possibly a stress test. Many young females get SVTs, which is usually harmless and do not cause any longterm problems. These cases can be treated with simple lifestyle modifications that can minimize attacks (such as sleeping better, reducing stress and eliminating caffeine products). Patients can do Valsalva manuevers to stop SVTs. As far as alternative, homeopathic, etc... there are no products that have shown evidence in successfully treating SVTs. If you ever find that your SVTs won't stop, you may get dizzy, get chest pain and your cardiac output will fall and you can pass out. Have someone dip your face/head in a bucket of ice-cold water (the mammalian diving reflex) and call 911. Medications, ablation, cardioversion, etc... are reserved for advanced cases. These patients may be older or have other cardiac issues going on. Or they can get SVTs before or after a heart attack due to changes that occurs in a part of the heart called the "Atrium". I hope I was able to answer some of your questions...

This is mind of late, but still not in the panic stage.  If possible, an x-ray would be nice...\n\nhttp://www.drspock.com/article/0,1510,5398,00.html

I am not a med student but I have a st jude pacemaker. Are you having problems with your equip? I have had to have my wires replaced twice and now the new set is fractured, I clotted the first time so my cardiologist says that when he changes them he will have to open my chest and put me on the by-pass machine so that he won't disturb any of the clotted area.....I' m really worried about it.

it is an abnormal heart beat\n\nif it worries you go to your doctor who can check it out

The pulse is measured at the wrist, neck, temple, groin, behind the knees, or on top of the foot. In these areas, an artery passes close to the skin.\n\nTo measure the pulse at the wrist, place the index and middle finger over the underside of the opposite wrist, below the base of the thumb. Press firmly with flat fingers until you feel the pulse. To measure the pulse on the neck, place the index and middle finger just to the side of the Adam's apple, in the soft, hollow area. Press firmly until the pulse is located.\n\nOnce you find the pulse, count the beats for 1 full minute, or for 30 seconds and multiply by 2. This will give the beats per minute.

You can't determine a blood pressure by counting a pulse.  You need a blood pressure cuff.  You can approximate a blood pressure depending on where you feel the pulse.  If you feel a strong radial pulse (the pulse in the wrist) the pressure is usually at least 80 mmHg systolic or above.  If you can't feel it in the wrist but you can feel it in the groin it is usually around 70 mmHg systolic.  If you can only feel a pulse in the carotid artery (the pulse in the neck) the blood pressure is around 60 mmHg systolic.  The systolic pressure is the peak pressure in the arteries in the cardiac cycle.  This is the top number in a blood pressure.  Normal blood pressure is 120/70, however normal is usually higher or lower for most people.

Sinus bradycardia can be defined as a sinus rhythm with a resting heart rate of 60 beats/minute or less. However, few patients actually become symptomatic until their heart rate drops to less than 50 beats/minute. The action potential responsible for this rhythm arises from the sinus node and causes a P wave on the surface ECG that is normal in terms of both amplitude and vector. These P waves are typically followed by a normal QRS complex and T wave.

It's probably more annoying than life-threatening.  Sometimes a compressed vertrebral disk or spinal nerve can do this.  You have not described cardiac involvement.  Please don't ask for an online diagnosis and ignore any that you are given.  I suggest you see your health care provider for evaluation.
