I guess I have had heart skips,flips,flutter,jumps and racing for ten years.Sometimes my heart skips where it feels like your heart has stopped and then kicks back in,goes away for a long time and then times like now it comes back with a friggen vengeance!

It terrifies and me and just wears me right out.I am so sick and tired of this.Why does it go away for so long and then back again? All I am doing is sitting her on the computer or watching tv and BAM! I get a skip.

I guess all I am looking for right now is support and maybe some of your personal stories because I know the whole heart skipping thing is common in here.I am just weary and so fed up with this and need some extra help right now.

Thanks for replying ian414 I don't even want to lie down and try to sleep right now for fear my heart will stop.Maybe an irrational fear but when your heart is jumping and skipping it doesn't seem so irrational.Like you my heart will jump as I am trying to or just on the edge of sleep and wake me right up.It's so freaking tiresome.

Do you find that on bad days in particular that any little rise in excitement will bring on skips and palpitations.I hate to be graphic here but sex on those days is just out of the question.It doesn't seem to matter what kind of excitement so long as your adrenaline is raised.
