Even though I know anxiety causes skipped beats, I'm still not convinced !!!! I just had 2 skipped beats one after another it was horrible feeling, are they actually safe ? Cause I feel like they could lead to something major, or cause my heart to actually stop argh they are my worst symptom...
Anyone know any pills that reduce them ?

I think doctors sometimes prescribe beta blockers to help with heart palpitations.

Yes they are safe and yes you can get beta blockers that are safe to take and have no side affects,I've been on them and off them for years mine are called propanol :)

My doc put me on beta blockers, for pounding heart when resting, and trying to sleep. It's a low dose, but they work great. Very few side affects. My blood pressure would run a little high, but that was cause of the anxiety.

My doctor won't put me on any for my age!
Are the skipped beats safe ? Can they not lead to a heart attack or anything ??
