Anxiety? Heart problems?

[Jay52573]

I'm a 22 year old male and i suffer from severe anxiety and i have a serious problem where i don't leave my home.

For five years i've had no exercise, and came out of my house only a few times.

Ever since last year my heart has been skipping beats which started very mild but now has become very scary.

Two months ago the problems got worse and now i'm getting dizzy spells throughout most of the day, my heart is constantly skipping or sometimes feels like its stops for 5+ seconds then i feel dizzy, faint, light headed and i get a tingling sensation throughout my body.

My heart feels weak alot, i get this weird sensation as if my heart is growling sort of like a stomach, i feel short of breath aswell, i get these weird pains in my brain, my arms, heart etc.

Every once in a while my heart does this weird thing where it beats really weak and i get funny sensations, dizziness, short of breath, paleness and then it starts racing until it eventually calms down.

Yesterday i woke up to a weak pulse which remained through most of the day until eventually went back to normal.

I've been to the hospital a few times about a year ago and even recently, i've had about three or four EKG's different times and everything was "fine."

I'm so scared, i feel like sooner or later i'm just going to be found passed out or dead (god forbid.)

I had some of the same issues with my heart, though doesn't sound as bad as what you are experiencing.  I know when I went to the hospital and got an EKG about 4 months ago, they at first said I was just having PVC which are normal skipped heart beats, but luckily they kept me monitored for another 20 minutes and caught what was called an SVT which can cause some of the problems that you are describing.  SVTs are typically treated with medication or if they are bad with a very safe surgery called ablation surgery (mine was caused by medication that I was taking, Niacin and went away after I stopped taking it).  

This may not get caught my a simple EKG, the best bet is to go to find a cardiac rhythm specialist and have them put you on a 30 day holter monitor, that will allow them to record your heart for a month and when you have one of the events you are describing it will get recorded and the Dr. will be able to tell you if it is a simple PVC issue or something that requires additional treatment.
