What's happening
I've been having strange feelings around my heart area such as a few regular beats then what seems like a slam or hard beat. This has been happening for several days now. I am also feeling very anxious but really have nothing to feel anxious about except the feelings in my chest. I am a 72 year old female and have heart trouble in my family history.

But you should always, always have any new and disturbing heart symptoms checked out by a doctor.
