Stress Center Peer Support

i read the posts and just had to chime in..I've had this bad anxiety which stemmed from a panic attack in december...well one of the symptoms I still get is this "skip beat" feeling..so hard to describe..I tried to describe it to my doctor and all, its difficult to explain, but all i know is it feels weird...Either way I've had holter monitor, ekg's (one at the emergency room. I was there specifically because I was feeling severe heart stopping and starting feelings), and echo too..Every time they tell me I'm fine...That doesn't mean there not scary, bc they are! I had a bad one the other day and it threw me off for a second..It made it worse bc I happend to be feeling my pulse when it happened! For those few seconds before I felt my pulse again, all I thought was "Am i gonna die right now?" ..So your not alone ..goodluck, Angelo..

I have had these skipped beats...pvc's...on and off. They usually come after a stressful period in my life. Last year I got anxiety in May but didn't get PVC's until I was getting better in October. I went to the cardiologist and he said they were nothing to worry about. I have been taking a multi vitamin with some magnesium in it but in December I started to take straight magnesium and I have hardly had any PVC's since. I am a true believer in the magnesium! Its always good to get checked for piece of mind and once you know they are fine just know that it will get better....and take magnesium!
