So I'm pretty much constantly aware of my heartbeat, I'm one of those people!

I'm also pretty aware that I get a lot of skipped beats; normal heartbeat, feels like it stops for a second, then THUD back in.

I've kind of noticed it happens ALOT after meals, or if I'm really really warm. Sometimes getting up, and walking around settles it. But I mean, how normal is this?

I was in the cinema last week, seeing The Martian (amazing show), and I had a lot of cola and popcorn, in the really intense scenes, my heart would race and be followed by skipped beats; is it food that triggers this?

22 year old male, normal weight, no alcohol and no smoking, and also I've cut down my caffeine intake dramatically recently!

I am in the same boat as you and still have no answers. I am told anxiety but I am finding it so hard to believe :shrug:

I have had EKG's, chest X-rays, Chest ct scan, bloodwork, Echocardiogram etc. They cannot find anything wrong.

I have been getting them more than ever and eating has actually set mine off.
