Anxiety? i was cleaning and all the sudden in my chest it felt like my heart stopped i don't know if it did or not but i also have really bad anxiety

Don't worry: A sensation of your heart stopping is often produced by a premature beat that results in a long pause before the next beat. Your heart did not stop completely and unless there are other risk factors for heart disease in your family history I would not worry about it.
