Anxiety

My name is Chris 20 year old male pretty muscular kinda I'm about 210 pounds and I've had heart anxiety for a few years and with multiple symptom regarding hearts related problems from racing heart rate out of nowhere and sharp pains,hot flashes, and skipped heart beat sensation and also chest tenison feeling and even high blood pressure at times. I've had multiple normal EKGS and blood work doctor even listened to my heart and said that it sounds beautiful and here even done a EKG at his office which was also normal. I used to workout all the time but here recently I've been experiencing like this skipped heart beat feeling whenever I run or workout.. I really would like to start back running and working out like I used too... My doctor tells me that I should have no limitations on how hard I workout but I need to get through this! Is the skipped heart beat feeling my anxiety??!! Need alil help please!

If you're really concerned you need to do a stress test -- a sitting EKG at a doctor's office is generally worthless except for calling attention to certain heart irregularities that would still have to be investigated by a specialist.  A stress test will test you while you're exercising and should, I would think, allay any fears you have.
