im driving myself mad. sine last thursday ive been having heart flutters every few minutes. it feels like someone is kicking me in the chest and some of them actually hurt and make me stop what im doing. i ended up in a&e on sunday and they did ecg x 2 and blood work and it all camr back fine and said to go and see my gp. i went yday and he just said it was anxiety he didnt even examine me. there must be something wrong with my heart to be making it do this - the ecg in the hospital only lasts a couple of seconds so that wouldnt have picked the skipped beats up. im so scared im making myself sick with worry. has anyone jad these so often

    On the bright side if this was happening every couple of minutes, most likely the ecg would have picked it up, if it was heart related! and with your blood work coming back clear, it sounds non medical. Im not sure what examination a Dr can do on a pt to confirm anxiety, hence why he probly didnt do one. Ask your Dr for a 24hr holter monitor to watch your heart if your that concerned
