Has anyone ever felt heart flutters or skipped beats before from anxiety? I've had multiple EKGs blood test chest x-rays my doctor has even listen to my heart and said that it sounds beautiful but he sent me for an echo and 30 day event monitor which all came back great. Any advice?

Yes, get your anxiety treated! Your heart has been cleared and isn't the problem. Anxiety can cause flutters and skipped beats (or what seems to be skipped beats). You can try your GP (not necessarily good at diagnosing) or choose a psychiatrist (skilled at diagnosing) but either way your anxiety is too high and you need to be treated. Some people find help through alternative methods such as a doctor's workbooks and watching YouTube videos explaining anxiety and what's significant/not significant depending on your diagnosis. These are helpful but don't take the place of getting an accurate diagnosis and ruling in/out medication.

It feels like someone is standing on my chest and the rapid heartbeat comes along with it. Anxiety can do that to you. She's absolutely right.

sometimes it's just GAS! Stay positive and don't get too anxious about it.

We have all been there

Yes. I have the same symptoms. I'm ona 48 hour monitor right now But I have been diagnosed with anxiety... so I'm sure I'm okay. Just take one day at a time. Breathe! If you've had test done that say your heart is okay.. then it is! Just gotta believe it! Which I'm working on myself 😉 Take care & best wishes
