Heart Skipping Beats SCARED!! - Heart Disorders Message Board

zandra2003 · 10-02-2003, 03:24 PM

Please help me out you all! I know you all keep talking about this but I want to reassure myself that I am okay. My heart keeps skipping a beat and it makes my whole chest(heart) beat really hard after it skips. Hope this isn't to confusing. I feel a skip then beat then another STRONG BEAT! I feel it all the way in my throat. Then I have a slight headache from it after awhile. This happens to me about 4 or 5 times a day. Now I have been stressed about 3 weeks ago but thought I was doing better but guess not? PLEASE HELP ME YOU ALL!!

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!

So, how long has this been going on for? 3 weeks did you say? Have you consulted a doctor?

This happens to me occassionally, not daily, but sure is scary and annoying enough!

Take Care! Try to relax, stress makes it worse, at least for me.

What you are describing sounds like a palpation which is probably harmless. I started getting them when I was young during my first pregnancy. I thought I was having a heart problem. I still have them occasionally. Cut caffeine completely out of your diet. Take a walk to help relieve some of your stress. If you feel something is really wrong go to your doctor. You should always go with your gut feeling.

Well this has been going since early Sept. I had this about 4 years ago and between now and then I would occasionally have this but this time...? Tonight has been really good don't know why? Just worried that it is affecting my blood flow in my body. Worried about Bleeding in other places like to much blood to my brain? I am just nuts I think I just am worrying but I hope it is just the stress and caffienne (can't spell it) I do drink ALOT of Diet Dr. Pepper in fact that is really all I drink? Please keep me in your prayers just a little spooked!
