question: Hi there, otherwise healthy 37 yo female.  Normal BP/Cholesterol etc.  Have been suffering from occasional palpitations (feels like skips in my chest which forces me to cough for the past 2 1/2 years. I only get them a couple of times a month and sometimes I can go months without getting them. I am on 20mg Celexa for anxiety which was caused by these palps which really freak me out.  Ive also had two episodes of really fast heart beat which I think was due to dehydration and not eating properly those days, Ended up in the emergecy room the first time that happened, all check out o.k. Ive been to a cardiologist, had a holter twice, numerous ekgs and been told these skips are normal that everyone gets them and that I am more prone to feeling them.  My GP suggests upping the dose of celexa to 40mg which may help.  I also take magnesium which seems to soothe them, do not drink caffeine at all and avoid simple sugars with the exception of alcohol from time to time and I do notice the day after drinking wine I tend to get them.  I am mainly after some reassurance that these will not kill me and your advice on how to live with them.  Thank you!
