Are skipped heart beats dangerous if you have normal tests? and can a caffeine drink and anxiety cause a skipped beat? :(

No.: There is a benign condition causing skip beats called mitral valve prolapse. A lot of caffeine and anxiety could also cause it. With normal tests, don't worry too much. It feels worse when you focus on it too much, so, relax.

Can anxiety cause my heart to be suddenly extra sensitive to sugar, emotions? Cut caffeine/alcohol. tests clear, occasional pvcs/PAC's. They scare me!
