Hello,
Just a line to say that I understand what you are going through. I've had skipped beats, irregular beats and fast beats for around 10 years now. The doctors haven't found anything. I am trying Ayurvedic supplements like the Terminalia Arjuna herb which is said to be good for the heart. It seems to have worked on a person I know who had heart failure. All the best.
I have these and I have had them since I was 18 or so. Does anyone's left arm tingle? Feel weak in the arms? I have had test after test and shows nothing even when they are at their worse. One thing I have found that works for me is zanax. Just make sure you do not run out or they will be worse than before. As soon as I take the zanax they go away and that is why I think a lot of it has to do with my anxiety. Any updates?? This is exactly what is wrong with me and I can not even exercise anymore because it scares me, unless I have my zanax and that is getting harder and harder to get.
sorry your going threw this . I to know how bad they feel
I used to have them here and there now when they come they stay for hours and whole days and sometimes they are on top of each other every 3-4 beat , I hate them
nothing has changed in my life or health but just they got worse out of blue I am almost 55 now guess its age not sure
dr says alls good with my heart just pacs . shame they cant find that magic pill
This makes me feel so much better...started having skipped beats when I was 27. Have gotten worse with age. I get to the point that I am afraid to move! Unlike some of the posts, with me, the more I move around or exercise the worse they get. There are days when I have them constantly...all day. They wake me up at night and I am unable to get back to sleep. Had EKGs, CT scans, ultrasounds, all normal. I am on HBP meds, but it is under control. When I am experiencing the skipped beats I cannot concentrate on anything - it pretty much takes over my thought process. It is awful - I go into panic mode - start shaking, can't think, it is terrible. Would not wish it on anyone. I always find it hard to believe that there is not some sort of med...but as everyone has said, the doctors always say not to worry about it. Just keep trudging along. I feel as though I am coping instead of living.

Sorry, I am 10 months late. . .with a reply. Thanks for your feed-bak. I found that if I completely ignore the irregular beats, they do go away. I am just going to chalk it up to anxiety. The more I worry, get tests that don't prove anything, etc. . . makes me prone to become a lot more anxious. Just had an EKG a few days ago, the lady said it looked good. Operatin on Tues. 1/28 if the EKG didn't look good, I feel sure they will let me know.
Thanks.
I will post after the kidney procedure on Tuesday. 1/28/14'
