My husband's pulse showed his heart was skipping two beats several times a minute. My husband had the same symptoms you described. Turned out he has thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease). Dr prescribed Synthroid and Cytomel. No more heart palps, no more skips...back to normal. P.S. Apparently he had this condition for many years before it was property diagnosed. Have your thyroid checked. Good luck.
WOw that sounds like what I have and its called SVT.. google that and read the symptoms or psvt... My heart would be fast when I would bend down to pick something up and stand up! I went to the hospital as soon as it happened and they did a ekg and said it is svt! I take medicine for it. My heart also skips beats it scary! I hate feeling like i cant breath 4 a sec!
