ectopics

[Missy]

I have just joined and would like to I have found this site very useful and everyone seems friendly.
I have been suffering from ectopic beats like a fluttering feeling. I went to see doctor who said he thought it was anxiety as I had been under a very lot of stress at work. I have read some posts like this and feel a little more reassured. I seem to get them also with an upset stomach with lots of gas and belching and wonder if they are connected or anyone else gets this? thanks
Also how long do these runs of ectopic last and can I do anything to help myself?

stomach problems are classic signs as well.

as for the ectopics, the less attention you give them and the more acceptance you have of all symptoms the better. dont worry how long they will last, just no they are not important and let time pass until they choose to go.

not my wise words but the words of author claire weekes, they are easier said than done but ultimately crucial to recovery, if you learn to do it let me no the secret

take care

Thank you Jackie and Anmeg for your kind words.
I too have read a book by Claire Weekes and in it she says ectopics can be aggravagated by wind and indigestion. Just wondering if anyone agrees with this?
I wish I could read something and take in on board and stop worrying....instead of thinking maybe they are wrong..I have to laugh at myself!
