    anxiety can cause sensations all over the body including a racing heart, skipped heartbeats that feel like the heart is stopping but it is not stopping. The heart automatically beats so you don’t have to worry about it stopping. you have had many check ups and everything was OK. Now you need to learn how to manage the anxiety so you can feel better.

    it would help you a lot if you could talk to a counselor about this. That person can give you ideas on how to lower your anxiety so that those sensations don’t come as much.

    you are going to be OK. When we worry about something, the heart speeds up so it feels scary. But it’s important that you breathe properly and relax your mind. You can go on YouTube and find some relaxing meditations for anxiety and also some good breathing exercises.

    many people around the world have the same sensations that you get from anxiety. Those are not harmful. Take one day at a time and get some help for this. Like a counselor. Take care
