I’m having the exact same problem ,

Ever since I had my baby I started getting this weird feeling like my heart stops for a second then starts up again, it’s really scaring me , it usually always happens at night tho , that’s when my anxiety is bad , it’s gotten so bad that every night I feel like I’m going to die 😢

I’m tired of feeling like this !

Sorry to hear you are having these nasty pauses, they are so scary. I have them and mentioned them to my EP last week at my consultation. They are arranging a 24 hr ecg monitor and an echocardiogram to check things out. Please dont put up with it and make yourself feel worse with concern. Have a word with your GP or cardiologist and ask for support and tests as appropriate. This is a time to enjoy your baby not to have to be spoilt with heart concerns. Take the lead and get things sorted so you can feel better and calm again. Best wishes.

Sounds like ectopic beats . I have had it since having my daughter and it is related to anxiety it's horrible x
