Why does my heart skip and jump around nearly everyday without fail and it takes my breath away . I then worry for the rest of the day until the next time it happens when is my heart attack going to happen ?? Over it 😣

Hello jodz have you had a ecg or a heart monitor check by the doctor x if you haven't perhaps you should go see doctor and put your mind at rest x

I haven't had one for about 2 years and prior to that had lots of ecg , stress tests and 24 hour monitor all fine . And put my mind to rest for maybe 2 weeks and it all starts again . Few months ago dr wanted to put on monitor and I said no . Wouldn't matter what I have done I would be having some bloody symptom or 20 .

Ectopic heart beats (missed or extra heart beats) can be caused by anxiety, caffeine, tiredness alcohol jerd etc. Harmless but increase with anxiety. Have ecg for reassurance and look up York cardiologist on utube. You will be amazed how common and insignificant they are. However I get them and have all my life, and still can at times get frightened. They can exasperate an already anxious person and can sometimes be the cause of anxiety so sooner you get reass

urance and knowledge of their benign nature the sooner mended. Good luck x

I have had this horse since 4 months old and have been so excited for the time she is broken in so I can ride her . But I'm so nervous and the thoughts won't stop .
