What Causes Extra Heart Beats?

FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN FEELING SOMETHING GOING ON WITH MY HEART. MY DOCTOR SAID THAT I HAVE EXTRA HEART BEATS, AND THAT THERE IS NO REASON FOR CONCERN. WHAT CAUSES THIS CHANGE IN A PERSON? ALSO, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A VERY NERVOUS PERSON AND LATELY IT HAS BECOME MUCH WORSE. IS THIS A PANIC DISORDER?

Hello there I have read through your question and what you have is tachycardia that is increased rate of heartbeat. As you said you are a nervous person it may be the cause for your increased heart rate. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for your problem and further assessment. I hope that helps.
