Suggest Remedy For Skipped Heart Beats
Frequent skipped heartbeats that take my breath away for a split second. I am only 17 and I am worried my heart is going to stop. I have had 2 ECGs and blood taken as well as blood pressure, pulse etc. Doctor said everything is fine and they are normal, but I can t stop worrying about my heart.

Hello,
Skipped heart beats are usually due to premature atrial or ventricular contractions. This is considered to be the normal variation of the heart beat during breathing. Since your ECG & other blood investigations are normal. There is nothing to worry about.
Maintain your weight, do not get overweight, cut on alcohol or any other addictions, do not smoke avoid caffeine. Take adequate water, ORS, soups & juices to maintain a normal electrolyte balance. Stay away from stress, Take adequate sleep, avoid oily-spicy junk food. Do regular exercises & maintain healthy lifestyle. If you still feel discomfort get physically examined. You may need to get stress test, CT, MRI done. Hope I have answered your question .
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
