Hi All
Feeling a bit desperate and want to talk to others who've been there...
Basically I have had issues for over ten years but used to think it was gullet spasms as I had bad oesophagitis 20 years ago
However earlier this year I noticed that my heart was skipping beats when I was lying down with my head on pillow and it coincided with the same flopping sensation in my chest
I've had 24 hr holter test and GP noticed a number of missed beats
This was also at a time when I was hugely stressed with work and really noticed my heart beating in my neck etc at night
I got put on beta blockers....a low dose as my resting heart rate is in low 50s.
These did seem to calm me a bit but more recently I've noticed the skipped beats are coming more 'in packs' now, especially when resting, less so when I exercise etc. or when moving around although I do notice the odd one .
I can't really tell what they are linked to either. Evenings seem worst so not sure if it's post meal related but currently I've had about 10 in last 15 mins.
I'm waiting to go for a week long holter test now but it feels like things are escalating from the odd one I used to notice
Really just looking for some friendly advice and support
Thanks folks
