My heart has been skipping beats on and off for over a week now, and today it started thumping possibly over 200 bpm for about 3 seconds? then slowed back down, felt like bombs going off in my chest but wasnt painful. This was this morning and it's now the evening and my chest/arm feels numb.
blood/ECG's/X-rays = normal. but beats wasn't happening at the time of the ECG.
I have to wait months to see a cardiologist and get put on a 24 hour heart monitor. I really don't feel like I can wait that long, It's keeping me up at night, I have no appetite, and I constantly think i'm going to just drop dead.
I did think it was anxiety to begin with, but today my mind wasnt on it at all when my bp increased suddenly. so I don't know whats wrong with me.
Btw I think i get this more at rest. It will come in waves and vary in the amount of palps, and the time between beats. it's not a nice feeling. it's like sudden suction on my chest when my heart thumps again, It's hard to explain.
Anyone give me some reassurance or knowledge? I'm 20, male, and from the UK btw.
