Skipped beats are my worst symptom

[nicole123x]

I hate the skipped beats, how can anxiety physically cause your heart to jitter jolt and jump, flutter and skip ?
Is there a cure for these?
They really scare me and their my worst anxiety symptom :( my symptoms send me into a panick I could be doing fine all day then booooom skipped beat then feel anxious all day !

Welcome to the "i was doin' just fuckin' fine & dandy then my heart jumped & now i'm a quivvering wreck"... club.

Its a popular club amongst anxious folk... with new members joining daily, lol

Brain influences heart rythm.
Anxious / panicky part of brain tells heart its time to run hard but non-anxious part of brain contests it... the result is spurious / contensious signals sent to heart... causing wobbles & jitters.

HOWEVER... heart still does its primary job & pumps blood, so you arent gonna pass out from it.

Cure? calmmmmm... :-)

I can be feeling normal for an hour then soon as I feel a flutter or a thud then I'm panicking all day , start to feel like I can't breath and get light headed . it's horrible . it has really affected my social life don't want to go anywhere as I'm frightened I will start to have a panic attack

Yes they are my worst symptom too. I suffer everyday and night with them since July this year. They will come every other beat for hours or every 5 beats, 10 etc. the worst is every other. I am having them today but like only 6 an hour. These are easier to deal with. It takes my Breath away and kinda feels like someone is pinching it or thumping it. Kinda uncomfortable. But they say my heart is strong and its anxiety. Even if I am calm they happen. Then that gets me nervous and starts them more:(
