Irregular (strong) heartbeats & hot spot

Hi List,
Here's my thing - I have irregular STRONG heartbeats. Yes, I get other anxiety symptoms too, but the palpitations really scare me.
Mine can come and go all day sometimes. I've seen a Cardiologist and he said my valve's not leaking (that's good!) and that I won't die of them... I asked if stress/anxiety brings them on and he said "maybe"... That was it!!! I should've asked more questions, but I didn't :-(
What I want to know is do any of you out there, like me, get the same thing happening to you? Somedays I don't get any, some days, like today they were around all day!!! Pretty scary really...
I also get a HOT feeling (like on the skin) mostly in the middle of my chest, but on the odd occasion it spreads further and under my arms. I KNOW it's all to do with anxiety, but it'd be nice to know if anyone out there has similar symptoms.
All of the anxiety symptoms, no one would never know I'm having them - are many of you out there great actors too! ;) I don't use any meds as I worry about any side effects... See there's that word again "WORRY!" ;)
Other than that I'm a happy, bubbly person.
Thanks for letting me share...

Thanks for your reply. I was really apprehensive about posting (my first post) and it's just such a relief that there's someone else out there that experiences something similar.
Thing is, YES, it's just another symptom and it's such a comforting feeling that we're really not so alone....
Mwah!

I get the palpitations and hot feeling too, so much so that if I feel overheated it has become a trigger. What I tend to do is get a glass of very cold water to help cool me down. Somehow I've associated being hot to feeling anxious, and if I can cool down some, it helps.

I'll have to look up the chat session, however with me in Australia and a lot of you in the US, times for chatting might be a bit hard...
