I have had skipped heart beats for about 15 - 20 years. Back then I was evaluated with ECG's and a holter monitor and was told they were harmless, benign and not to worry. As a consequence I have just done that but over the years they have got steadily more frequent (I was told they would get more with ages also!). Recently I have started to worry about them again (I am now 46) and continue to wonder if the diagnosis made all that time ago still applies or whether I should go back and risk opening up a can of worms. Otherwise I feel fine, no chest pains, breathlessness, weaknesses or other associated heart symptoms. i go to the gym regularly, with no ill affects - although my skipped beats are still apparent even when trianing. I am an anxious person and feel under stress just about all the time. They are definitley worse when stressed. Should I just carry on like I have for the last 20 years..........most of the time I can ignore them?

wouldnt hurt to get checked again just for peace of mind, but aftter 20 years if they havent killed u yet i doubt there goung to x
