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.

Yes it is. Thank you. I believe it is an electrical issue as well as I have sinus bradycardia that doesn’t really cause me trouble with the exception of some pains. The chest pains , which I have now, is located in upper chest. That’s the part that concerns me with this
