I know i have anxiety problems. But your right. sometimes its hard to differentiate the difference.. I mean just because we have anxiety, and know we do. we always think to ourselves, well ok so i have anxiety, but that doesnt mean i might not have a heart problem. etc.
My pulse is always generally fast. I get those ectopic beats i think. But they come very infrequently. What scared me is that th eother day i did excercise and at night i got 3 in a row while i was trying to sleep. I wasnt anxious i was calm. and still got them. Alot of times i think things can happen even when ur calm. im 26 years old. got an ekg and blood test done about a year ago and they said im healthy. so who knows.
My question to you .. when you get those ecotpic beats, or whatever they are called.. What do you feel ? I feel like a contraction sorty of feeling maybe like a gas pocket feeling or something. Not painful. Then there is a small pause and then a hard extra beat. Is that what u get?

When I get them the heart starts beating fast..its usally after im eating and also when im anxious..my heart will beating fast and it feels like there is a pressure on the heart and it feels like something just jumped in my stomach..Its definiely gas related but sometimes anxiety causes gas.. I get them sometime for no reason but usually after I burp so it must be something associated with gas..But what worries me is when i get a string of them together.. which isnt that unsual. I will get five out of six beats and then when i burp I usally don't get anymore..They come and go.usally when im hungry and have excess gas..Everywhere I read it talks about being harmless although they are scarry. I read where most people get them but don't notice them .But I would dare to bet they aren't as pronouced as ours. I don't know I haven't had them very much in years and now I get them pretty often but im more anxious than I have been in years.. so I suspect thats all there is..What I do is I try to always eat something light when im hungry .. something that wont produce gas..and then when I eat I always make sure that i have a soda and burp.. I don't even like soda but I always make sure that I drink on to get rid of the gas and if it happens when im not around soda I keep some rolaids or some other thing to make me burp around.Also when you eat..try not to exhert in anyway .. because it aggrivates the missed beats for some reason..Try to kind of take it easy for a couple hours before you exert..Also I worry about afib..God i have looked on the internet until I have scared myself to death..I shouldn't have done that and the doctors when I talk to them are amazed that I know what i do.. Anyway lately I have been worrying I had afib.. but i spoke with a cardiologist yesterday that told me that if my heart is beating at the rate that I mentioned its not going into afib..He told me just to get test for peace of mind but said that he pretty much knows its nothing.. so anyway hope this helps you . if you have any other questions please let me know its always nice to know that you have someone that knows exactly what you are talking about to ask.. I hate anxiety.. its miserable. .
