hi there!
i dont think you have anything to worry about sweet they are just ectopics and they will go when you are less anxious.I had loads of them a few months back as you describe and touchwood they have totally gone now!!!
Im sure they will be back but im just enjoying the fact that there not here at presenr.Are you on meds?
The reason i ask is because they didnt go entill i went on them,and iti was on them a good three weeks befor they went.When we get anxious we release alot of adrenaline and this causes the missed beats{what ever you want to call them}meds make you less anxious so there for less missed beats.you are normal so please dont make yourself more anxious by worrying more.xxxx

I take citalporam as my doc said they are easy to come off when the time is right!I dont no alot about pozac but if you have a look at the meds site there maybe someone that can help there.If you are feeling that anxious i think maybe it would be best to maybe try something.xx
