I had always been an athlete until my 18 years, when after a run i felt heart palpitations. Then I stoped.
I used to be very scary when i had an extrasystole but with time i learned how to control myself beacause i had once in a while.
But now my problem is different. I'm feeling a lot of extrasystoles followed.
I feel the hart beat inside, he's slow and he's uncontrolled. I feel everything! One heart beat, a pause of 3 seconds, another heart beat, and always like this. The heart beats are strong, it's like a trembling muscle but on inside and this muscle is my heart!
When I go to the hospital my heart is already calm and the doctors never see anything...
Does anyone else feels the same?

Hi, an extrasystole (extra sístole in portuguese) is when one heart beat fails and the next heart beat is strong... Well I use to have them but they are not dangerous when happens once in a while, but sometimes I feel a lot of them followed and it's like I'm having an attackt...
It's slow, painful, scary... I'm really afraid...
I have an "arritmia sinusal" but not dangerous, it's conected with the breath... But i never had been diagnosed with something dangerous.
What do you have? And what more do you use to feel?
I worked in a hospital when I was 25 -32. During those days I had many skipped beats. One day it was so many It felt like a tiny pony was in my chest kicking me to get out. I went to the cardiac unit for advise. They put me on a monitor and I was in TriGeminy. I was 27 and all of the doctors stopped and looked at the monitor of the woman with that rhythm. An old time doctor saw that I was a young woman instead of an old woman or man and he said, give her Inderal and a hot cup of sweet tea and she will be fine..........It is how my nervous system responds.....I am wired to have my heart skip when I become very scared. It still goes on in these days when I have a fright, either in reality or in my mind ( or if my gut is sick) ........and I am many years older than 27!!!!
What does the doctor say about your heart pain? Do u have medicine? Does he know you are in pain?
I suffer from anxiety and depression mostly due to my IBS CONDITION. ITS AN INTESTINAL PROBLEM THAT CAN BE TRIGGERED BY ANXIETY. ITS A CATCH 22. My IBS Triggers anxiety and my anxiety triggers my IBS. There is no cure for IBS. YOU JUST have to manage it,like anxiety.
I have an arrhythmia who's not dangerous, but sometimes, when I feel my heart inside, it's like it's the end of the world... I'm afraid of what I'm feeling at the moment is dangerous... Because when I feel that, i feel like 10 beats slowly, strong, and i feel every contraction... but not in the chest, i feel from inside!! It's so weird...

You know when your finger starts to trembling? I feel that on my heart, followed beats... And he was slow... And the beats hurt a little bit but not in the chest... the hurt inside the chest, i don't know if it's correct, but a "pain in the heart"... You also feel that? 2 hours later I went to the hospital and the ECG was fine... But at the moment, nothing was fine, it seems a collapse..
