weird drop feeling in chest

[tchild]

I have been having some weird feelings in my chest as of late. There is no pain, just this weird "drop" feeling, like my heart is getting ready to stop beating, I call it a scared heart, feels like when you get scared how it feels like it skips but I get this while doing nothing. I can be sitting watching TV and if I move just right it feels like my heart stops. I sometimes get this feeling that I am going to pass out and I have to catch my breath.
I have had numerous tests ran, the only thing they say I have is MR (mitral regurgitation) which they say is common, it commonly referred to as a heart murmur. They said that I have a "misfire" on my EKG reading but "nothing out of the ordinary" I have been in and out of ER's and in and out of hospitals, I do suffer from anxiety but I am not anxious and when I get these feelings my pulse is usually pretty low, between 65-70 so I know its not anxiety causing it.
I am a 42 yo woman, not as active as I would like to be because of this problem, used to be really active. It seems to be controlling my every move. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found that the drop feeling in my chest is my heart. I moved to a different state and had the same tests performed over again, and yes they even did the event monitor again, and yes I caught an episode, I am now scheduled to have VTablation done. Sometimes you have to listen to your own body and not what over priced drs who dont care about nothing but their paycheck. I found a dr who listened and was genuinely concerned about my health. Him and his practice spents months doing test after test to find I have arrhythmias, and to get rid of them they are going to go in and burn the area that is causing them. It got to the point I couldnt even function let alone hold a job, anxiety was NOT the problem. Thank you for all your comments and your advice, but sometimes its best when we listen to our bodies and take care of ourselves and MAKE those that we pay good money to to help take care of us LISTEN!

First of all systolic blood pressure at 90 is not a bad thing at all you have slight hypotension which in many countries is not considered a threat unless blood pressure falls significantly that blood does not reach organs, which is not the case here. Also you mentioned your pulse rate which is perfectly normal. The sypmtoms you have are not assoisated with heart problems and are more likeley trapped gases or gerd. One thing aswel that makes things worst is your anxiety to the sypmtoms you are experiencing.  If you cant get a peace of mind then ask your doctor to perform an ECG, some blood and urine tests to check hormones, a 24h blood pressure monitor and a ultracardiogram, although i am sure that ecery test will come back within reference range. This will eliminate you thinking there is something wrong with you when its something completley normal. I hope all goes well and take my advice as I have had allot of hyperchondriatic patients. Live your life and take care.

I have noticed lately that my pulse runs way low, between 60-75 when at rest, when it usually ran 75-80, my bp has always been low, 90's over 60's, but this feeling scares the tar out of me, literally makes me feel like I am going to have a heart attack and that my heart is just waiting for that right moment, drs think I'm a nut Im sure, today I had that "scared" heart feeling several times, I actually had to stop what I was doing to set back and not get overly worked up about it. Makes it a bit easier to know I'm not alone, thank you all for the advice :)

These sound like regular pvcs/pacs to me too. You tend to get them more when your heart is going slowish, and they're also more noticeable,  giving you that horrible drop feeling,  like someone stuck a hoover in your chest for a second. The longer the pause before the next beat, the more they tend to take your breath. They're perfectly normal most of the time and some people get thousands a day, like every third beat even, but they can certainly feel pretty bad. Especially if you get a few in a row. Ugh.

I have GERD to top all this, and the drs keep telling me that alot of what I feel may be contributed to it, that making the vegas nerve mad tends to upset the heart. But when your body weirds out on you its so hard to keep those positive thoughts in your head and to keep from freaking out :(

I am not on any meds as my body is hypersensitive to medications, just a normal tylenol will knock me out for a few hours, and I have so many allergies to medications to top it off. I do, do alot of deep breathing, and I wore a holter monitor for a month and the "episode" I caught on it the drs said there was nothing wrong.
Today I got up with a numbness in my ear and through out my left shoulder, I tried to work but it feels like my shoulder isnt there which sets off my anxiety and my lightheadedness and all the other garbage that comes with the anxiety.
