Hi, I just saw this. You sound so similar to me. I have those issues as well, they scare the bejeebers out of me. I have discovered that the more I worry and think about them, the worse they become and come more often. I also don't drink enough water, dehydration can cause them too. I have a hiatal hernia, that definitely can be a catalyst for the skips from hell.
It looks like you had all the right tests and they were "normal" I go to the ER all the time and the test are "normal" too. I have to learn to believe and trust the doctor, I think that will help you as well. I know how scary they are, believe me, I have had mince since I was in my late 30's, I am now 66, so I am still here, they haven't killed me yet.
I hope that by now you are doing better and skip free.
So, I'm no expert and I don't expect this to be your problem, but I'm putting my case here just in case. I have been fit all my life and had recently started to take a new Protein shake brand after my workouts. After months of using it, I started to feel some slight palpitations that worried me. Never had them before. Diet hadn't changed, everything else checked, so I decided to change the protein intake to a vegetable protein type suspecting that some ingredient in my whey protein was at fault. Heart palpitations stopped. That was about 6 months ago. Don't know exactly what in the mix could be causing it and I worry, drink coffee, all the other things and none of them caused me palpitations before and after so my case is certainly different.
Hello. I just wanted to see how you were doing. I hope things have gotten better. I have experienced my heart skipping, beats for years. I had a Holter monitor several years ago, and the results were fine. I have had two EKGs in the past year, and the results were fine. Now I’m going to be put on a monitor for 14 days. The palpitations have been a lot worse the past few months. I have also been extremely stressed the last few months. I’ve noticed that my ankles have also been swelling though. This is an endless cycle of worrying and then feeling better and the palpitations not being as bad, but then worrying again and having them get worse over and over again.
