Hi
I know how you feel too, I used to think how can I not worry when my heart is skipping beats all over the place! But every bodies hearts skip a beat a one time or other, for example, when I was going through onw of my what I call bad weeks, my dad made me check his pulse (as I was checking mine constantly) he didn't know and I didn't tell him but whilst I was checking his heart skipped a beat and he was totally unaware of it. My doctor said when he gets stressed he feels his heart skip a beat, my husband has said occasionally he has weird feeling in his chest my mum and my sister do to but they just ignore it or they just do not feel it as strong as maybe we do.
Whilst your keeping yourself in this state of anxiety you will keep getting them, You without realising it are dreading every minute of every day just in case it happens again and that something terrible is going to come of it, but you must realise you said you've been getting them for a year and half and your here writing on this forum. If you haven't already go to your doctor and get a ECG, 24 hour ECG and echo done, just for peace of mind, and have some blood tests for hormones thyroid etc just to make sure.
Try to calm down and when it happens try to think of something else, anything, change your eating habits and stick to it, have 6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones, avoid spices, fizzy and caffine sit for as long as you can after eating and make sure you sit up a table if possible, do not eat anything large 3 hours before bed, a biscuit sometihng small and bland would be ok. Try to be more active and take time out to relax.
Mine haven't gone completely and I still have bad times but if you stick to the above it will help.
This site is great and give lots of reasurance, I'm sure your fine.
