Good evening
Apologies for asking about this as I know there are lots of threads about palpitations but it is beginning to worry me quite a lot so was just after some reassurance. I have suffered from anxiety for years and started experiencing what I can only describe as skipped heartbeats for about the last three years, they were actually noticed when I started cycling. I went to the dr and had blood tests and an ECG and everything came back fine. I have experienced them off and on ever since but have just put up with them. On Monday night I started having them quite frequently though,we had gone to Bath for a break and were walking after dinner and I started to feel that familiar flutter, skip in the chest. I don't feel light headed, or faint, or anything like that, occasionally I feel a little squeeze in the chest but that's it. It lasted for a couple of hours but I had really bad indigestion/ trapped wind at the same time. Is it possible that the indigestion was causing the skipped beats?
Tonight I have been suffering from the same thing, every time I moved from room to room I would get a flutter and I am very bloated etc. I don't know if this is just something I should not ignore, but not get so upset about, or whether I should be heading for the nearest A and E department!! Any advice/ reassurance would be appreciated as Idont really have anyone to talk to about this stuff.
