Anyone else suffer from ectopic heartbeats? I get skipped beats every day. It’s like my heart beats really fast then it stops for a few seconds to catch up with itself. Catches my breath and sometimes makes me lightheaded/dizzy. I’ve had many ecgs, echos and 48 hour heart monitors and doctors say my heart is fine. Anyone else get these? Is it anxiety?

Yes I was diagnosed with skipped beats, sinus arrhythmia, & pac's previously. My mom also has mitral valve prolapse so i was little concerned. None of them are life-threatening what so ever. I was given the lowest dose of propanolol by a cardiologist but I haven't been taking it lol.
Once you accept the fact they they are not serious, it will more than likely go away. If the symptoms are too bothersome, ask to be put on medications. I have all your symptoms including chest pain & nausea & im 16 lol.
You'll be okay don't worry

You're not alone!! I've always been an anxious person but the ectopica started about a year ago, I've had ECG, EECG, EKG, etc.
Everything looks normal, the cardiologist said they're harmless even though it feels like I'm having a heart attack, I've found some things that help to make them less frequent, exercise every day, I take magnesium, gave up caffeine and try to limit alcohol consumption, breathing excersice and having a good sleep, they're still there but it helps.
