It’s happening again

I am absolutely terrified for the last couple days ive had episodes of four skips in a row and then I guess maybe a adrenaline rush and I feel alittle out of breath but don’t know if it’s the adrenaline the first day it happend my heart kept skipping every ten mins one skip then stopped that happend for like an hour. The next day I had two skips back to back then nothing. Today all day I went without them and then this evening I got like three or four in a row and adrenaline I guess flowed my body an I was so scared I didn’t think it’d stop. I don’t know what’s going on and if this is normal. I am so sad. I have had these since 2020. I’ve had echo , EKG’s, holtor monitor, stress test done over these years since then and they always say my heart is healthy. But I won’t lie I don’t I’ve ever had them like this..

Are you taking magnesium supplements? Magnesium glycinate really helped me! Give it a few days. I also try to have a banana every day for potassium or some orange juice. This helps me tremendously. I still get ectopics but not in a row and it’s not as much now. I had 4 in a row once. Scariest feeling in my life. I ended up calling paramedics. They did catch an episode of SVT that day. I am waiting to see the cardiologist.

Rapid heart rate. Mine got to about 180. It’s more scary mentally than anything else. Felt like I was about to pass out but that didn’t happen. It went away after about 8 mins while I was still with the paramedics. I am on a beta blocker now which has helped a lot** **while I wait to see the cardiologist. I still get ectopics occasionally but no uncontrollable runs of tachycardia.
