Absolutely Julian. I think it is easy to become overly sensitive to your heart rate.

Most people will throw off what are called ectopic heartbeats, which feels like your heart skipping a beat or fluttering, These are entirely normal. However, when you become aware of them it can become self perpetuating as the more you're aware the more you're gonna have them due to becoming more stressed.

Generally I try and ignore what my heart is doing. That only becomes difficult when it is really playing silly buggers and very rarely does it start to alarm me. But that's cause I've had years to get used to it. When I first got ill it terrifed me and so I'd end up getting really panicy and that made me feel even worse. I was permanently taking my pulse and avoided doing loads of stuff in case it triggered an attack. TBH that wasn't helping.

I decided that the heart is a muscle, I know my heart is healthy from all the tests, it just has faulty wiring. I figure the fitter my heart the more it will cope with the episodes of irregularity. Works for me!! :thumbup:
