I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing skipped heartbeats for about five months now. It often feels like there's a pause in my heartbeat, maybe for a second, but I'm not completely sure. I've never fainted or felt dizzy when this happens, but it does make me feel very anxious. I'm really worried about the possibility of a sudden cardiac arrest because of these skipped beats. Are these skipped heartbeats something I should be seriously worried about, even though my ECG, ECHO, and HOLTER tests all came back normal?

Skip heartbeats can be concerning, but they are not always dangerous, especially if your tests (ECG, ECHO, HOLTER) have come back normal. It is important to manage your anxiety as stress can worsen the symptoms. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as reducing caffeine intake, managing stress, and getting enough sleep can help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, medications like beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) can be prescribed to help regulate your heartbeat. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
