I have been having premature heartbeats for 3 years. I had an ekg, echo, and stress testabout 3 months ago with everything normal. for the last week i have been having 2 to 4 second skips between beats about 2 times a week. They seem longer but I never lose consciousness so im sure its the panic that makes them seem longer than they are. I scheduled an appointment with my cardiologist for 10 days from now but I'm wondering if this is just my panic getting the best of me. As I said all my test were normal.
