Flutters

Twice in the past 3 days I've felt this weird like flutter in the center of my chest. The rust time it felt like a thump and then a flutter then just now it was a flutter. I had an ekg, blood work, and a CT scan on Thursday and the dr said everything looks fine. A little over two weeks ago I had a 24h ekg done and everything was fine then too. Are these flutters really just anxiety? They freak me out bc they come out of no where! The one I just had happened while laying on the couch watching tv. Anyone else get this?

Does it make you cough as though youve missed a breath too when it happens. I've had these alot recently aweful as they are. Went to docs it comes with anxiety and not to worry. Now the less I think of them the less I feel them. Don't seem to happen when I'm up and about just when I'm resting. Hope this helps mandy xx

Thank you for the reassurance. I feel like we need that quite often with anxiety.

It does help when you know your not alone trouble is anxiety is not just one symptom. It's multiple and our brains tend to tell us the worst and does a very good job on us anxiety sufferers unfortunately lol. Tc xx mandy

What you described is ectopic heart beats that can be brought on by anxiety, caffeine, tiredness and over indulgence in alcohol and/ nicotene. Completely harmless but causes a great deal of anxiety. Reassurance from your doctor and an ecg does help to calm you down. Theres a cardiologist on youtube who explains this in layman terms. Look up York cardiologist and you should find him. Cant remember his name! Take care x

Thank you! After a few months of therapy, I've gotten my anxiety (and most of its symptoms) under control thanks
