I've posted on here many times complaining about these horrible skipped heartbeats, feeling as if my heart stops and fluttering/skipping/jumping sensations in my chest and throat.
People have replied with reassuring comments and I really appreciate it :) i have told myself that these horrible ectopics are related to my anxiety and this has helped me a lot and i've managed to calm down.
I had a whole week without any horrible/frightening feelings in my chest, although i have still had a lot of acid reflux.
So yesterday I felt fine and had quite a lot to drink and enjoyed the day without any anxiety. I had some wine at lunch time today, but felt fine. Then me, my parents and sister went for a walk. I felt out of breath as we walked up a steep hill, but this is because I have asthma, but then suddenly i had a horrible feeling that my heart had stopped. I was not at all anxious as I felt really happy, was enjoying the fresh air and having a laugh with my dad. After it happened i told myself to remain calm and that it is nothing to worry about, so i forgot about it and felt fine.
2 hours later I'm on my pc playing online games and speaking to my boyfriend, when suddenly i have an awful, uncomfortable falling feeling in my chest, followed by the feeling that my heart stopped and a shock like sensation. I'm now becomming anxious, because i know that worry did not cause these horrible feelings today, because i am happy, happier than i have been in a long, long time and now it's happening again :(
I agree that ectopics are most likely to occur if you are obsessing over your heart, but i havent even been thinking about it, i haven't checked my pulse in about 5 days.. just as i felt i was making some progress, now i am back to square one and it is such an awful feeling. I don't feel like playing any games or watching a film now, i just want to go to bed and block it all out :(
has the alchol cause this? i havent drank in weeks and every time i have in the past i've never had any ectopic beats... this first occured after smoking a joint over a month ago.. has that cause disruption to my heart... and why would it still be affecting me?
argh, i dont know what to do, i feel dredful again :(
