Ruu 39 Posted November 4, 2017 I thought I was getting over this relapse. I'd been feeling pretty good the past week or so. And then suddenly tonight I have another episode of skipped beats. Every 4th or 5th beat, for about half an hour. Terrifying me. I'm terrified of ventricular fibrillation. now I'm shaking and shivering ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greygoose 1 Posted November 4, 2017 I went through a skipped beats freak out a few years back. In my head I knew that they would randomly happen to me for as long as I could remember, but when I focused on them they seemed to happen more often. I always can connect them to either dehydration or anxiety, which is a likely explaination for you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlwaysWorried21 25 Posted November 4, 2017 Ventricular fib has nothing to do with skipped beats though. Also such things are quite common! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruu 39 Posted November 4, 2017 Thanks both of you. I always worry about ventricular fib from reading (I know. Dr Google, not good) places like heart sites and nhs saying things like "multiple skipped beats can lead to *deadly* ventricular fib" very helpful articles ?
