Eptopic heatt beats, and can here my heart beat in a hot bath

Hi everyone, I've been suffering what I can only describe as anxiety from what my docter has said to me, chest pains, body tremors when trying to rest and sleep, I saw a cardiologist last week and he ran through a number of routine cheeks and he said he thinks I have eptopic beats, I have had countless ecg's and blood tests and all come back normal, he also wants to do a 48 hour take recording of my heat aswel, I'm just wondering if anybody else gets these symptoms where they can feel there had in the chest all the time and feel the eptopic beats happening, please reply

Sure.  Do the tests for a baseline value.  But there are two things to be aware of:

One is that heart specialists spend years learning heart-related stuff that you are never even going to get close to.  In general, if you are told by a cardiologist that you are ill, you are in fact ill.  If you are told that you are well, the chances are very, very good that you are well.

Second, regardless of your distressing symptoms-like feeling your heartbeat in a hot bath, or having weird vibrations or a gurgling sensation or whatever--if you can do your ordinary daily activities, if you can walk up stairs carrying your groceries, if you can run after kids, if you can do this sort of thing without being out of breath to a disabling degree, or without barfing or losing consciousness, then the chances are that you are in fact OK, no matter how strange or bizarre your symptoms feel to you.

Yes, many people feel their ectopic beats but not everyone.  I would suggest going through with the 48 hour monitor to see how many of the beats you are having though you have to be having a very high load for the doctors to do more than prescribe beta blockers but good to get them checked so you know where you are at.  take care.
