Some patients describe this experience as a 'flip' or a 'jolt' in the chest, or a 'heart hiccups', while others report dropped or missed beats. Ectopic beats are more common during periods of stress or debility; they may also be triggered by consumption of some food like alcohol, strong cheese, or chocolate.It is a form of cardiac arrhythmia in which ectopic foci within either ventricular or atrial myocardium, or from finer branches of the electric transduction system, cause additional beats of the heart.
