(((((((((((( freewill ))))))))))))))))))
I would say that you should mention your concerns to your doctor just to be safe. I also get flutters in my chest that feel like skipped beats, it does seems to get worse when my anxiety is higher but sometimes it is unrelated.

Same for me, Freewill.
I think heart palpitations (or 'skpping a beat') is pretty common among all people, but can happen a lot with people with high anxiety. It's not a medical concern unless it should happen very frequently and with accompanying pain. No ned to worry, but it might be a good idea to talk to your doc about it anyway. Take care,   J

Yes, part of anxiety and part of normal everyday life that some people notice and some don't. But you might feel better about it if you have it checked out by your doctor.
I also get an occasional slam-bang of a heartbeat or two.  gettin' DOWN in there!!! lol

I do, at times it was just the anxiety, but anytime before the end of december it was actually a heart arrhythmia i developed.

I feel it so often I notice the calm and wonder what is different. i avoid coffee and pop and whatever else can contribute to the effect as much as possible. I hate it. Take Care!

I'd talk to your Dr. about it, and maybe have an ECG done. It could be anxiety, it could also be a med's side effect (don't know what if anything you're taking). But you don't want to take chances when it comes to your heart.

Yep, but I have tachycardia that I inherited from my father and grandfather. You should probably have it checked out.

Definately something to bring up with your doctor. I have similiar episodes. I always assumed that it was my blood pressure being high, it turns out that when I had that feeling my blood pressure is actually low. I also have a freaky heart condition, my heart has created its own by passes and for some reason the blood will continue to circulate only through my heart and not the rest of my body. My blood pressure drops, but my pulse goes sky high.

i am 19 i get it also but its been freaking me out. i got an ecg done at my local gp and he said it seemed fine but wanted to look at it further becausemy uncle died with something wrong with his heart when he was 26. as far as i know the tablets make my heart go a bit funny too. even my hands go wierd like just one finger will go freezing cold then the ohters will be warm . its just wierd. i guess i never noticed these things before the panic attacks and derealization because i had nothing to worry about . now i think every small pain is going to be a fatal one
 take care
