    We're you nervous or scared before going to the shops? Do you normally get anxious in public? Try breathing deeply and counting to ten.

      I'm anxious when I have to go anywhere lol but I noticed I was having them last night for no reason, I do suffer from skipped heart beats but just one skipped beats now and then, these ones were just one after another, it's seems to have gone for the moment but I know when I have to pick my son up in an hour they will start again! I take propranolol for my heart palpitations but this was like my heart skipped beats were fighting against the propranolol!

      Thanks hamza they are terrifying aren't they, it's like your main organ that keeps you alive and I'm scared it will stop...it's OK for the moment but I'm still stressing out about it! I hope your palps stop soon, I get so miserable after I've had them. Xx

    Skipped heartbeats are horrible, I know them all too well and I let them ruin my relationship with my child’s father. Just tell yourself it’s all anxiety. Tell them to do there worse because you’re experiencing the worse already! Soon you will stop fearing them and I garuntee you won’t notice them anymore. I only get the odd few now and it doesn’t bother me a bit. But I went through an awful time getting to where I am now. All the best to you, you can do this!!

    I have skipped beats. They are not harmful. You hear people say all the time "my heart skipped a beat". It's a natural reaction to anxiety. People's hearts skip beats when they even see someone they like. I was prescribed the lowest does of propanolol & but im not taking it. It's not that serious. Try yo calm down you'll be okay. I know the symptoms are bad but you know the cause. If the doctors thought it was really a concern, they would've given you a pacemaker or something.

    Calm down. It's not serious. I'm 16 & i love with it

    Had to be rushed to the er 3 times. Nothing. You look young i wouldn't worry lol. Love life

    I get these everyday. I don’t feel anxious barely ever but especially don’t when I get these, only after lol. I have had loads of ECGs, echos, and 48 hour heart monitors and doctors say I am fine. I can sympathise they are so so horrible.
