Since I was about 20 i started to notice a weird flutter in the middle of my chest that for a split second it would make me cough and loose my breath , I didn’t really bother me and for years had them once in a while then around November of last year I started to get them more frequently as I always do I i googled what it could be as I always google my symptoms or go on web md , i know I know never a good idea to google these things specially if you suffer from anxiety as I do . Well I found out thru google that my heart was skipping beats when I felt that sensation in my chest . So every time I would feel a skipped beat my anxiety level would rise and make my heart beat like crazy , started to feel dizziness and just plain terrible , I would fear the worst and would lose interest in things I like to do . One day I was playing with my daughters and felt a couple of strong skipped heart beats , immediately rushed to the ER , hooked me up to an ekg and ran blood tests . All came back good . But that did nothing to ease my anxiety as I would still have skipped beats . I made an appointment with a cardiologist and he didn’t seem to be concerned even re scheduled me . I finally had my appointment a couple of weeks ago , he ordered an echo , stress test, and Holter monitor for 24 hours . Echo was good , during the stress test I had one skipped beat but other than that no blockages , the Holter picked up a few ectopic beats from both the top and bottom of my heart . He said everything looked normal but could prescribe me Some beta blockers to see if it would help ease my anxiety. I have not taken the meds because if indeed it is normal I shouldn’t need meds ! But it’s so hard for me to believe what he tells me since what I feel feels so abnormal plus I have some pain on my left side of my chest and middle abdomen. Ever since I found out I have skipped beats I’m very aware of every abnormal sensation and heart beat . Every day I’m always thinking about this and the anxiety is terrible !
