Skipped beats

[Lauriem4]

Last night my heart rate started going very high as I started to get anxious then I started to get alot of skipped beats which didn't stop till I started to breathe properly .Scared me this time as they went on longer than normal.Does anyone else can these during an anxiety attack?

Lauriem4, yes I have had this and it is a part of anxiety and panic attacks, and the more worked up you get the more you feel those skipped beats . I have learned to just relax a bit more to avoid theme, also certain things you eat have a factor in this. So if you eat or drink anything with caffeine in it, I recommend you cut it off. I've also cut of fatty foods late in the day as that was also affecting me.

Thanks for your reply . Yes I think it is part of the panic for some people as it sets off the beats when I'm anxious it's a vicious circle x
