What Causes Irregular Heart Beats And Discomfort In The Chest?

Doctor, I have irrgular heartbeat attack twice two years ago and since then have been feeling a sudden twist or flip of heart for even less then a micro second but get normal after this. With this I feel my head circling and afterwards feel drained for some time. Since last one month I am facing another problem which started suddenly that sometimes while sleeping or trying to sleep I feel that my heart had started sinking and when I feel my pulse that time it is double beating at that time. I wake up and cough and drink water and then its OK for that time. But it is fistubing me a lot. Can u explain what is all this. I have done ETT with Bruce protocol and it was negative. Echo is normal. Holter test twice for 24 hours. Nothing during that time. I am very worried. Please answer me. I am taking loprin 75 mg and tenormin 25 mg since last two years.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all, no need to worry for arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) as your extensive cardiac work up for arrhythmia is normal.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
