hi So I know we get the rapid heart rate fluttering what not but I was sitting here and had some chest pain and it felt almost like my heart just stopped.... then BAM rapid heart rate, has anyone ever had the stopped feeling with panic attacks? I also got mild light headed and a little difficulty breathing. I have had about 6 EKg's an echo tress test, blood work,chest x rays and just turned in my holder monitor today (reslts tomorrow) im terrified its going to just stop and im going to die :(

Kyle, I have had that several times in the past when I'm experiencing a really intense anxiety attack, which in turns only makes the anxiety worse.

Glad you got testing done, it will give you peace of mind if all is okay and you experience again.

Wishing you the best!

Hi KB,

It sounds like what most people describe as an ectopic heartbeat or PVC, or palpitation.

These irregularities in the heart rate are usually completely benign, and brought on and/or exacerbated by stress. They often feel like a 'missed beat' followed by a rapid succession of what feels like 'catch up' beats.

You will find out for sure what exactly is going on when you get your holter results...but I am sure that you are going to find that all is well.;)

Will you let us know how you are doing soon, and about your test outcome?

S.C.
