I find that my "skipped heartbeats" are a main source for my anxiety attacks. they freak me out. sometimes i will get one or two in a row and its terrifying. does anyone else have this and feel the need to call 911 like i do?!?!?

I do. And when it happens I freak out and it makes my heart race and makes them happen more often. To me it feels like my heart double beats and sometimes feels like it's inflating? I've been to my Dr. mutiple times and he said for me because I've had palpitations for as long as I can remember, it's normal. They can't hurt you, but they can scare the crap out of you.
thanks for the input... i have read so much about this kind of stuff and even though it says to not worry, i still do. it just seems like, this can't be normal?! my husband thinks i'm nuts. he's so used to me worrying about this stuff, i'm afraid if something really does happen he'll dismiss it!
This has def happened to me. I did bring it up to my ob since I am expecting too and since i had an echo done everything was normal. She said it was from my anxiety and that if it bothers me alot i can take meds to help me relax. Let me know if you need anything.
Hugs,
Quin
