You will find many in this forum that experience these "skipped or missed" beats. In most cases they are benign and nothing more than a nuisance. They can be scary and yes they will take your breath away. I used to suffer with those. I had SVTs for some time, but thankfully they have disappeared. If you are worrind about this talk to your doctor, but like I said this is so common. Ally
I believe thyroid problems can affect heart rhythm as well. The doctor may have to retest and adjust your meds. I have arrhythmias that cause the same feeling you described but mine are harmless. I hope you follow up with the doctor and get clearer answers about what's going on.
Hi ChaterAlly,
Did you do something that made them go away - and how many times a day did you get them?
