How does a person develop skipped heart beats?

Posted by mikefox909 @mikefox909, May 8, 2016

I Would like to know how does a person develop skipped heart beats (palpitations) and what it's the best preventive cure for them. I am 58 yrs old and treating my hypertension with losartan, amlodipine at night, and taking propanolol as well. My BP is under control. I'm wondering if skipped heart beats can be cured or are they a life time thing. Are there any solutions? Thx for reading my question......

Welcome @runningwolf1957. I moved your message to this discussion thread started by @mikefox909 related to heart palpitations. @kelseydm provided some relevant resources to help with your research and @predictable offers some great information from his experience. I bet @cyndiblaw could also add insight to this question.

@runningwolf1957 have you spoken to a cardiologist or GI specialist about this?

In reply to @runningwolf1957 "When ever i feel full or bloated i have heart palpitation. They can last all day..." + (show)

@runningwolf1957, I think @colleenyoung has made the best first suggestion: Speak to a cardiologist AND a GI specialist about this. Can your palpitations be described as "skipped heart beats" or as rapid, beating pulse? The difference is important. With a better understanding of your situation, I might be able to tell you about similar experiences I have had, but in the end, I will recommend that -- whatever I can say as a patient and layman -- your best advice will come from doctors who are medical specialists in the conditions you are experiencing. I'll be watching this discussion to see whether you are getting your problem under control. I wish you well in that.
