Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that this are related to heart rhythm issue.These is electrical impulses that generates from parts of the heart different from normal sinus rhythm. They cause premature heart contraction that it's not a normal one. You feel like an irregular beat, a palpitation, flattering sensation, anxiety, difficulties in breathing deeply. This rhythm issue might have different causes to simple emotional stress or pathologies like anemia, hyperthyroidism, electrolyte imbalances, cardiovascular disease. If I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls, a full blood analyze to exclude anemia, hyperthyroidism,electrolyte imbalances and a holder rhythm monitoring to evaluate what are this rhythm issue and if they are significant or not. Hope I was helpful. Best regards, Chat Doctor.
