chest pain<\/a>. In most patients the chest pain that accompanies bigeminy is mild. The chest pain is often described as general discomfort as opposed to sharp biting pains. When the heart is unable to get enough oxygen or blood, it will pump harder in an effort to maintain the regular functions of the body. These increased force of contraction often result in mild discomfort or pain that feels like a general tightening of the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pauses caused by bigeminy are generally short and run on an unpredictable pattern of short and long pauses. For this reason, chest pain is usually brief as opposed to sustained pain. People who experience unexplained chest pain or discomfort during times of rest may need to check for bigeminy. Chest pain and discomfort may increase during periods of physical activity in those who have bigeminy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
