A member asked:
I sometimes feel my heart beating very fast, then it pauses, then it beats strongly. i can't have ecg monitors like holter because i have strong anxiety issues when tested and results will not be accurate. what are other ways to check my heart?

Palpitations: The standard is to start with just a regular EKG. Even if you have anxiety issues it may still pick up the abnormal beat. The next step is a 24-hour holter and you record the events. The other test is an 30 day event monitor which you call it when you feel an event.
