Hi all,
I am almost 21 and a male. Since June last year I have been experiencing lightheadedness and fast heart rate.. I have been to the doctor plenty of time and they dismissed it as nothing and sent me on my way. Eventually got referred to a cardiologist in January this year and had an echo, ecg, bloods etc all normal. However I have been expericing a number of skipped beats lately, it feels like a sinking in chest then back to normal, they occur mostly during exercise at a heart rate of 160-180bpm. Should I be concerned? I also have been experiencing some random heart squeezes that last a second and send a wave of heat through my body lasting about 20-30 seconds if I don't panic. I am constantly checking my pulse rate/rhythm and become distressed when I experience these. I have had a 24hr holter but didn't have any symptoms on that day. My results have been delayed and I have to wait 8 weeks to hear back. From what I have read online I am naturally concerned and I am wondering if anxiety can do this?
Thanks in advance!
