yes. I was told it has to do with the electrical system of the heart and that its not really skipping it just feels off beat because it's trying to refill with blood and it will make u dizzy and lightheaded. mine is worse when I'm overly anxious, hyper or angry lol.

I'm so nervous about it. So the dizziness is normal ?

in reply to Isaack

yes I get the dizziness and then like a cold sweat because it is scary. I'd say its normal because of what is happening and the anxiety that is triggered. it happens to a lot of people. You'll be fine!

I understand I'm nervous to start working out and maybe running/walking on a treadmill. I hope i don't freak out if i feel my heart might change or something.

I have never had dizziness, but I was diagnosed with an electrical heart block called mobitz 1. It was found on a “fluke” 24 hr holter cause I was feeling my heart flutter (due to anxiety) and they found this heart block thing when I sleep!!! You better believe that made me even more anxious! But to be honest, it’s basically benign and they just monitor it. If you’re nervous, ask the dr to check it out with a holter or something. Usually if you can exercise without symptoms, it’s all good. Lots of us with anxiety have a “heart thang”....just part of the territory😉

I think i skip beats but not the dizzyness. I usually get this sometimes when i go to bed and get restless and can't fall asleep right away. It sucks. I do have a family history of heart disease and heart attacks so i am thinking about someday getting some tests done just to make me feel better. Hope you feel at peace and better soon. 💜

Hi, I experience this all the time maybe once a day.

It is literally all anxiety. I feel dizzy all the time and got diagnosed with vertigo so now I do exercises every morning and I don't feel dizzy anymore
