What Causes Skipped Heart Beats?

Following advice...
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Since all your cardiac tests and examinations were normal you shouldn't worry about the skipped beats. In your case the heart skipped beats are related to anxiety and stress.
However, your doctor may have missed other rare causes of premature beats such as acid reflux disease (GERD). If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations:
- abdominal ultrasound
- upper endoscopy
- H. Pylori tests
Moreover, I would recommend to do as follows :
- Eat often and in small portions
- Reduce alcohol, caffeine and energy drinks
- Avoid laying down 3 hours after eating
- Use chamomile tea
- Use antacids (davicson) otc
- Use prilosec Otc
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
