Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For the past 2 nights, i have not been able to get to sleep. Tonite, i think it has something to do with my heart skipping a beat approximatly every 4 beats. If this is some form of anxiety or panic attack - how can i control it.
Or is it something else?
This could well be ectopic beats (extra beats) it's very common. Most people are aware of it when stressed or have too much caffiene. Mostly there is nothing to worry about. Worry can make it worse.
