Feeling heart beat, skipped beats through skin

So true on the sodium, i wonder sometimes how much i ate before i realized. I bet most people today probably consume 4000-5000 MG of sodium a day. I am now the sodium cop with my adult kids and friends lol. But even watching the intake eating. Out is the hardest. I can't believe how much salt is used at most resturants. Even the better ones if i know im going out to dinner on a givin day i really restricted my other meals that day.

Quick update. Saw cardiologist. Blood pressure was 140/92 but I’m always anxious there. Suggested I take 10mg amlodopine I’m afternoon (usually take 5) and my Lisinopril in the morning She says do to my full workup in December and holter monitor in April she doesn’t see a need to do any more tests for the random chest and arm pains.

Has anyone experienced a bounding pulse or heart beating in middle to upper back? Mostly while sitting or laying ? This has happened to me more the past two weeks and is very noticeable

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.

Thanks. It doesn’t cause shortness of breath per say but more of a sensation feeling if that makes sense. Maybe described as me catching my breath but nothing more

Hi Jadilow, You are so young. Look up reflux to see how you can manage it. Ginger helps. Even a little baking soda in water can stop it. Tums that are pure calcium and no aluminum is also good. You want to avoid drugs. But of course, prevention is best. Don't lie down soon after eating. Sleep on your left side. It isn't related to the heart even if it is called heartburn.
As for the flip flopping heart, do you feel faint or short of breath during these episodes? My cardiologist told me when I had lots of 'flip flopping' that he only medicates if the palpitations or arrhythmia interferes with normal functioning. In my case I did feel faint and weak because the sensations were non stop. So, I think if you were to see my cardiologist...olke your own, he would tell you not to worry, to never have coffee, tea, alcohol, to go easy on the chocolate and steer clear of any stimulants (dental meds, cold meds). I hope this helps, Jadilow.

I have bradycardia so it has been told to me I can’t take Beta blockers due to possibly lowering my heart rate. I take Lisinopril and amlodopine

Yes, that is unnerving . My arrythmia is under control with a low dose betablocker. Occasionally, I still get skipped beats and the odd flutter and you can pick the feeling up in the erratic pulse. I no longer worry because of the betablocker.

Single skip here and there. But can be off an on for hours.

Very frustrating for sure how long do your heart skips last and is it skipping every other heartbeat or just a single skip here and there.
