Ok heres my story , for the last 2 years or so I get these weird heart thumps . Last march I had a ekg and stress tes done and the dr said the only thing I had was a first degree heart block but not to worry as many people have thta but dont even know.
Now in september I was getting these thumps in my chest I went to the drs and I had a panic attack in the room so she sent me to the hospiatl were the did a ekg and they sent me home with everything fine.

I still get these thumps sometimes when im just sitting or like yesterday I was out for a walk/ jog but mostly fast walking . I was worried about it happening then it happen 2 times.Its like a harder thumop then regular its weird and it feels like hell and worries.
Could they of missed it on the ekg? Can a ekg chnage in 6 months and can these thumps be something or is it just anxiety and stess . Im 24 years

plus if there was something wrong that can cause like a arrytmia or anything I would of been told and prescribed medication or taken to take certaim steps right?.Im just so scared because you see people my age dropping with heart problmes.

Hey, when you get these thumps does it send this really weird feeling up to your throat like you're getting sick in the stomach? This sounds a lot like what i'm going through. Sometimes while i'm playing a game or just watching tv i'll get this kinda thump in my chest like my heart just did a backflip and it gives me a slight feeling of nausea. I'm going to see a doctor about it. Sometimes when it happens, the first thoughts into my head are heart attacks and heart disease, and that triggers panic attacks. I know it ain't fun, either. I've been having to go to bed late lately just so I can fall asleep fast enough to not get any scary thoughts like diseases into my head.
