Last night I had a bad run of ectopics as I was trying to get to sleep. Not bad enough to panic me to going to A+E, but quite scary. I was a bit anxious going to bed as my son was quite sick before bed (and I worry about my kids even more than I worry about myself) When I woke up this morning I am really aching around my heart area and under my left breast and round my side and my left shoulder blade. It gets much worse when I move. I an trying to tell myself it's just muscular, but my health anxiety says it's my heart muscle itself that's aching and very strained. The more I worry and think about ectopics the more I get them. There's a definite mind/body link here. I have had three heart scans and three 24 hour monitors and numerous ecg's over the last four years (all fine, benign ectopics plus insignificant heart murmur), but I keep worrying that I am getting worse. I am not overweight, don't smoke and run 3k most days before work. Please share if you get the same symptoms as it helps put my mind at rest. Thanks
