Hi to everyone on this forum
I have a question to ask which has been bothering me for a couple of years now.
I have had skipped beats for about 5 years now, and on off anxiety for about 25
The skipped beats have been a real problem for me lately as Im sure you will all empathise with, but I have coped with them recently as I have been having hypnotherapy counseling sessions, and Ive read a lot of information which helps me day to day not to panic too much when one hits.
Anyway to the question, I get skipped beats a lot whilst I exercise, and by that I mean, while im running about, lifting things etc, not afterwards which I know is common. I am fairly unfit, I know that, and some of it is because I am frightened to exercise often because of the skipped beats whilst Im doing anything physical. Vicious circle
My doctor says 'Go Exercise' as it will help, but ive also heard palpitations whilst exercising can be an indicator for health issues????
Am I in danger? Can I exercise through these skipped beats and in the future they will reduce or even better go away? Should i get some sort of exercice cardiac test?
This really bothers me as it triggers my 'oh no im having a heart attack' response as my mind says, physical exercise + skipped beats = last legs
Can anyone guide me in the right direction? Should I not worry and go exercise often, or should I get further intensive tests?
Thanks
Stu
