Palpitations

Does anyone get one palpitation after another?  I can be sitting around and I feel a heart skip and then a few seconds later another skip and maybe a minute later another skip?  It is just very random but I don't like the ones that come one after another.

thats exactly my feeling as well. Had all the tests done and all is normal. went to the cardiologist and he explained to me "do you ever get a twitch behind your eye? its the same thing. Your heart is a muscle and muscles twitch, its just what they do".  dont listen to the doctors that give you the whole "medical" explination, to the average person, it sounds worse than it really is.  As long as your not feeling any pain, dizziness, or having trouble breathing while your feeling these skipped beats, you should be just fine.  Hope you feel better.
ps. try to cut back on caffeine if you can. I found that helped me.

They've been really bothering me the last couple of days. Always afraid my heart will start racing when I have lots of palps. Are you under a lot of stress right now? That always gets me going along with caffeine and trying to figure out what else.
