A member asked:

My doctor told me to take a deep breath to listen to my heart and he said it sounds pretty normal i feel extra beats and skipping is this anxiety?

Probably: Extra beats are not abnormal and everyone has them. Your concern about them is the problem and that is likely anxiety. There are anxiety reducing techniques that can help.
