Hello....i have had 3 episodes over the last 7 months where my heart feels like it beats quickly and harder for about 6-7 beats then goes back to normal....usually if i take a deep breath. I have had 2 EKG s done and all seems fine with that...i have been told not to worry too much, as anxiety can cause heart palps, but we have heart disease in our family and it worries me. There is no pain and no other symptom, i have although been VERY aware of my heart beat since the first episode and can t get it out of my mind. is this something normal or should i be worried? I am 39 and have hashimotos hypothyroid but otherwise healthy, myblood pressure goes up when i worry about it.
Hello, I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to any cardiac disorders.  For this reason, I would first recommend checking thyroid hormone levels in order to exclude any possible thyroid gland dysfunction.  It is also necessary for performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring in order to completely exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
