Hello everyone I am new to this online community. I was diagnosed with ectopic beats around 5 years ago and also have palpitations a lot (I understand they’re not usually harmful) Recently I have been having little episodes of a palpitations and get tingles down both of my arms. I also have pain like little electric shocks across my chest and upper back pain. I called 111 a few weeks ago and they said they weren’t concerned and gave me some tips to control anxiety. I have pain in my left arm above my elbow also. It’s causing me crippling anxiety and I know the more I worry the more it will happen. I had a phone consultation in early April with a cardiologist as my ECG was cancelled due to the Covid outbreak and he said he wasn’t concerned. However I can’t help but feel that something might be wrong and I’m in constant fear of collapse. Is this something anyone has experienced? It really is affecting my quality of life now.

Hi there
I suffered with palpitations and ectopic was but on beta blocker(bad move) but started on magnesium citrate 300mgs a day and these have helped tremendously. Takes about three weeks to kick in. Look up you tube Sanjay Gupter a leading York cardiologist what he says about ectopic and the different sorts of magnesium supplements he advises.
