Anemia/Palpitations (strained skipped irregular fast)

Hey I was just wondering if anyone experiences palpitations daily?

Anxiety is at risk of getting out of control as I am becoming More symptomatic by the day.

I’m trying not to react (cause more adrenaline then more panic) however it is really, really hard.

Last night I was minding my own business nice and calm and my heart suddenly went BOOM 7 times in a row really fast. I clutched my chest and willed it to stop. It’s all I could do.

Again, 5 mins later I was sat calmly writing and the same thing happened again.

I was scheduled to see the doctor today so I mentioned it and she said if it happens a lot or you lose consciousness, come back and see me

I’m just stressed about it because I usually experience this (7 strained irregular BOOMS.) once every few months, not twice within 10 mins.

The fact that I am experiencing anxiety shortness of breath chest pains and arm and shoulder top pains along with daily skipped beats is really triggering for me.

Doc thinks I’m okay based on previous ecg’s which has not captured anything :(

They think it is linked to anaemia.

What is their plan for the anemia?

Did they ever discuss using a 24 hour monitor to try and capture those extra beats?
