Never worried about ectopics before - but more frequent recently

[Anonybrit]

Hi guys,

I don't want this to become a thing for me as I've been doing really great anxiety wise since my very low patch at the beginning of the year when I was on here a lot.

So I'm not anxious currently but I am doing a LOT of exercise. I notice that I am having more frequent ectopic beats since starting this routine, not during the exercise but just when I'm sitting and relaxing. It will just be one on it's own, no dizziness etc. but maybe once or twice a day. Prior to this I would only have as many as anyone else, like a couple a year maybe, maybe slightly more when anxious who knows.

I don't want to go google searching I just want the low down on what to make of this based on what you guys who are already in the know have learnt!

Thanks guys,

Anyone? I just want a quick summary :(

Hi,

I am currently fighting anxiety which has been effecting me for 10+ years.

The last few years my anxiety has been focused on health, mainly my heart.

I am plagued by heart fluttering feeling which makes me cough and go dizzy. I have seen 3 cardiologits all saying I am fine. But they feel terrible.

Mainly happen at rest but I have had a few bad episodes when excercising.

What do yours feel like?

I can only describe mine as sudden fluttering/spasm/pressure feeling.

Mine feels like a class "skipped beat", like you're missed one and the next is extra hard.

It just once then nothing for a few hours maybe days but it's more than it ever used to be.

It sounds like standard ectopic beats. Nothing to worry yourself about.

A great resource I use for comfort is York Cardiology, type into youtube.
