So here's my story, even though it probably was already addressed.
I'm a male, 25 years young and in pretty good shape. I'm also currently serving in the military and have been for seven years now. Like everyone here, I've developed anxiety over my health. It all started 3 years after enlisting. Anyways, lately I've been feeling these skipped heart beats. It's kind of scary for me because I just think the worse. I'm pretty sure its anxiety because its always worse when I start paying more attention to it. I've been to the ER about 4 times because I thought I was having a heart attack and everything came back fine. I've had EKG's, Echocardiograms and Chest X-ray's done on me with negative findings. The only thing that I haven't had done was a 24 hour heart monitor test.
Should I be worried? Is this test absolutely necessary that I should go see my doctor and demand it?
My biggest fear and finding something wrong with me and then I won't be fit for duty!
