What Causes Skipped Beats,fluttering And Pounding In The Chest?
Hello! My heart has been randomly skipping beats, pounding, and fluttering. As I ve been lying down it s done it about 10 times in 20 minutes. When I lie on my stomach, back, or left side it feels like pressure is building around my neck. I had an EKG today and that, along with everything else, is textbook. But the EKG only measures a very short time. I m very nervous something could be wrong. Every time it skips a beat it almost takes my breath away. Any idea what this could be? Thank you!

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Hope here in your case if the EKG is normal one then this is nothing to worry, because such feeling or symptomatic may be nonspecific and not because of any disease, and this is nothing to worry, this information helps, take care.
