describe your palpitations/Skipped beats. curious

[ab123]

Just curious. How do yours feel, and when do they happen?

? I kind of think this is helpful for everyone as we tend to obsess over what is happening

My palpitations feel more like thumps.like someone is taking their finger and thumping me right on the chest. Sometimes it only happens once, other times it happens three or 4 heartbeats in a row. I hope i don't jinx myself since i haven't had them in quite a while, but I do remember them being quite scary at times.

Mine feel like someone has just taken my heart and squeezed as hard as they can. If you've ever had a child, the best way for me to describe it is like a contraction, but around the heart. It feels so very painful.

Mine are like skipped beats... Or as said above, thumps. But it only happens two, three times a day. I find they happen when I'm relaxed. I can work all day and nothing will happen. But then when I come home and lay down... boom, lol.

Sometimes I get them when I'm not even anxious. Also, sometimes I feel like my heart stops and get this weird rush come over me. I had that happen two weeks ago and went to the E.R. and found nothing. It was like I had sudden cardiac arrest for ten seconds. Then boom, heart pounded out of my chest. I have had all the tests done and they all come back normal.

The only test I haven't had done was taking home a holter monitor, and monitor when the skipped beat happens. But the doctor said that if it was anything abnormal it would have shown up in a normal EKG.

It's so damn annoying... It's more annoying than it is worrying.
