so this is really bothering me. i have noticed on a few occaisions that when i take a deep breath in, or take a sudden deep sigh; that it feels like my heart skips. its happened for years, so it doesn't scare me as much as it used to, but its still unnerving. i'm just more curious than anything if anyone else has noticed this?

Then you will be able to stop worrying or at least tell yourself there is nothing to worry about it.

big hugs!
