A member asked:
Is it normal to ectopic heart beat then nothing for say a few months then thay return again and can worry or anxiety be a reason thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually. : Typically stress/anxiety causes the heart to race by activating the "adrenaline" part of the nervous system. This may also cause the frequency of ectopic beats to increase.
