A member asked:
Heart skips a beat and i cough like i want to catch my breath. been to cardiologist 5 months ago. i had nothing wrong. also i'm 20? what could it be?

Usually benign: Skipping of heart beat is not an uncommon finding in all age geoups and does not indicate by itself heart disease. If the doctors have examined you and felt there was no problem with your heart , then you have no reason for worry. Engaging in exercise and physical activity is likely to benefit irritability of the heart muscle, which is the most common cause of skipping

My Dr, Er dr, and cardiologist said it's not my heart. But I still have chest tightness and feel like I cant get full breath with weird arm feeling.
Cardiologist says heart flutters cannot be caused by movement or deep breaths, but sometimes i feel skipped beats when I do so. Is this true?
