Hi my name is Grace I am 45 yrs old .. I have high blood pressure since I was 15 and I was recently diagnosed with type2 diabetes .. I have been having heart palpitations all my life but every once in a blue moon .. lately tho I have been experiencing the palpitations more frequently now and for the 1st time today all day long .. My heart feels like it will beat normal then pause for a second or skip a beat .. because of the frequency I am feeling fatigued, a little light headed and anxious because I have to catch my breath every time. I take my meds as advised by my doctor and I also have panic attacks but I can tell the difference between the two ... I even put a stethoscope on my chest to listen to my heart and sure enough I hear the beat pause for a split second.. I am still having them as I am typing .. I hate to go to the ER for another EKG and jst to be told nothing is wrong ...
