I know this thread is an old one, but I stumbled across it whilst searching somewhat desperately for info on my skipping heartbeat- and how glad I did because it has made me feel so much less anxious! I've had the "problem" for a couple of months and our National Health Service is so slow when it comes to testing.I tried to overcome this by booking a private appointment with a cardiologist, but my NHS doctor would not give me a reference that was required by the private doctor, so back to waiting weeks for a Holter test on the NHS in a state of high anxiety prompted me to search the net. I can control it to some extent by cutting caffeine etc, and I hope that soon it will either disappear completely or I will learn to live with it without feeling terrified, which as previous notes say, makes it so much worse. Thanks all for the above postings.
