Anxiety: I understand your distress. “throbbing in head and chest in multiple places” is due to stresses in your life causing Anxiety. Skipped beats or heart beating fast can be due to: Stress Overactive thyroid gland Smoking Drinking too much alcohol or caffeine Drug abuse See Psychiatrist for Therapy for stresses of relationship; and Medication.
