Hi all, I've suffered with ectopics for a long time and 2 years ago I had a cardiac ablation which has really helped but only quite recently I've been feeling a strange sensation where I am aware of my heart beat for a matter of seconds, it feels different and for like 3/4 beats it goes fast. It just feels uncomfortable, is this still ectopics? i suffer with severe anxiety anyway and I also have a leaky heart valve. Just wondering if anybody else understands how I'm feeling?I just worry about everything.

Ectopics or something more?
Hello
I had a triple Bypass and I would not be able to tell you if you are getting ectopic heart beats or not
I am a very anxious person and anxiety when we get it bad can mimic heart conditions and I am like you that even though I have had my Bypasses any feeling I start wondering and getting anxious and the only way I can get any peace of mind is talking with my Doctor
I think you would benefit from getting that peace of mind to if you suffer with anxiety and would make an appointment to see my Doctor , let them decide and maybe refer you if they feel it is needed to give you that reassurance that for me and you may be similar as much as I am afraid incase there is something wrong when I speak with my Doctor it is the only thing that reassures me
I hope you will make an appointment and let us know how you get on x
You need to go and see your GP. Recalling previous posts it night be short bursts of tachycardia but you will not know till you see a professional. Sitting and pondering will only make it worse!
