My heart rhythm goes funny

[Sagitarius88]

Before my question a little history about myself
I'm 26 year old female
Have been suffering with palpitation skipped beats extra beats for last four years

My question today is
Is anybody ever felt their heart rhythm goes completely out of order if they hear someone scream while they are concentrating on something

Actually i was sorting out my son's clothes when he shouted "spiders on the bed"
I was sitting on the floor and I suddenly got up to help him and in few seconds my heart rate went so funny I was feeling breathless and  my head was spinning and I really felt I was so close to faint or heart attack
I hate this feeling?

Is this kind of situation put me in high risk of sudden surprises or shock?
Is my heart telling me that it's greeting weaker?
I'm so confused and sad and upset


I had echocardiogram 4 years ago it came fine
Had holter monitor for 24 hours 48 hours and even 7 days they said it's all fine

Should I go to my GP again do he can refer me to a cardiologist again?
I was on beta blocker for 4 years but I withdrawn that in April 2015

I'm so confused plz advice me

I get heart PVCs too! It feels like a stop a pause then a real hard beat! Sometimes it is scary like your heart will not start again. The recovery beat after the skip sometimes hurts like it hits my ribs with force. I can hear these hard thuds in a quiet room. and can see them too! I though have always had a strong visible heart. My heart has always been strong and powerful and visible! I am an athletic man'6' tall 210 lbs. I workout do martial arts, am healthy as can be. But my heart beats like a hammer in my chest. I have visible pulsations on my chest and it shakes my whole body. After exercise, you would be able to hear and see it thumping standing next to me. My Dr. says I am healthy as a Tiger and it's just from being athletic. It makes a large muscular heart.
Is your heart visible when it does this? Or can you see all of your heartbeats pressing up under your chest?

Thank u
Your words means a lot to me
Yes I'm stressed as I never imagined this will happen to me
The shortness if breath makes me more anxious and more palpitations
It's a circle which is very hard to break
Seriously sometimes I want to finish myself because of these heart rhythm and other symptoms which doctors says nothing to worry about
But I'm worried cause No body else feel them : (

It does sounds like you have a lot of ectopic activity due to anxiety and stomach issues.  In an otherwise healthy heart what you are feeling is not a danger to you   So try to take the extra beats in stride and do what you can to bring down your stress.  Drink lots of water and tend to the acid reflux and you will mostly likely see your ectopic activity slow down.  I am so sorry about the miscarriage.  That must have been very hard.  Please take some time to mourn that loss.  You have been through a traumatic experience and may just need a bit of time to find center again.  My heart goes out to you.

May be it is a panic attack cause I'm under very stressful situation since 27th of august
I had a miscarrage and they have to do a D&C procedure and I was so scared of being put under general anesthia, but somehow I managed that but today was 7th day after operation and my anxiety, palpitations headaches are all back specially palpitations which scares me a lot
And today after meal I was short of breath may be acid reflux
I m really very sick of all this :(

Sounds like a panic attack.

[Sagitarius88]

Yes that's the biggest mistake I did
I didn't check how fast my heart rate was
It felt like few skipped beats then hard strong beats and I felt breathless and dizzy for 4-5 seconds and weird sensation inside the chest
This all happened in matter of seconds
I'm really scared but I'm trying to calm
Thank u for replying so quick

It is still likely not a concern but did you notice yourself get startled when he screamed?  It could have been a bit of anxiety/panic or if it felt like the episode started and stop in what felt like one beat it could be some sort of svt.  They biggest issue is if it continues to happen and how often it happens.  It can be hard to catch so you may have to wait and see if it reoccurs to a point of happening at least once a month to catch it with a monitor.  If you notice it again try to check your pulse to see how fast it is beating and pay attention to the fact if it starts and stops in one beat or if it ramps up and down in speed gradually.  Then when you have that information go back to the doctor and let them know.  Odds are it is something that isn't a threat to you so just try to not stress or you will give yourself more ectopic beats.  Take care.
