Feeling heart beat, skipped beats through skin

Oh, you're a guy! Do the pains radiate up and down your arm or is the pain fixed in one spot in your arm as it is in your chest? I would not worry in the least. Tell me...did your father have a heart attack early in his life? Men follow their fathers in this regard. If not, don't worry. We all have odd pains here and there in our bodies. I would get active, stop coffee and booze, eat well and do for others. Could it be that focussing on pains and heart bumps and flips (which so many of us have, especially coffee drinkers) take your mind off what is really worrying you?

I have been getting more and more lately the feeling and it like something is flip flopping in my chest. It I annoying I definitely notice it. I have had a full workup done the end of last year and cardiologist says I shouldn’t be worried but that’s always easy for them today. I have terrible reflux at time ls with constant burping. I’m wondering if this is related as my local doctor and cardiologist at this point are dismissing the issues. I also have random sharp pain in upper left chest as well. Just wanted some more guidance. I am 36 with hypertension and trying to get that under control. I believe I have GI issues as well but doctors just won’t help me at this point. I want to be proactive and not visit an ER unless I feel it is absolutely needed.

I may have written this before as we have communicated before. The cardiologist said that 9 out of 10 people who see him for such symptoms, he does NOT medicate. Only 1 in 10 does he medicate based on whether one's life is disrupted by the palpitations/skipped beats/ flips and jolts. I was one of them unfortunately because I was almost passing out throughout the day. I was 46 at the time. I was on beta blockers but I managed to get off them by doing aerobic exercise which stabilized my heart. I went every day for 4 months for 35 minutes on the treadmill. I was off the meds in 30 days. If I were you I would do aerobic exercise every day, pushing your heart to make it stable and strong. And I would stop ALL coffee etc..which is what I did. It is 24 years later and I still do not touch coffee, caffeinated tea, alcohol, chocolate (well, on occasion but then I often get a racing heart) and it is written in my dental charts 'no ephedrine'. I am absolutely fine. And I have to say, maybe because I am not a worrier, I was not concerned about my heart flips etc.. The cardiologist did a good job reassuring me that my heart was fine and that I just had an 'electrical problem'. My daughter, age 19 at the time also had skipped beats so I had her examined and was told the same thing. As long as she can carry on with daily activities as usual, ignore it as much as possible. I hope this is reassuring.
