What Causes Skipped Beats And Chest Pressure?

Hi my name is Johnny, I'm 19 years old and for about a month now I'v been feeling weird sensations around my heart, especially right under the left breast where you can feel your heart beat. I feel as if my heart it being squeezed or something, skipped beats and harder beats as if its forcing itself. I suffer from anxiety since i was 14 could it be anxiety related or is it actually and underlying heart condition? i'v never had heart problems in the past.

Hello,

Whatever the weird feeling you have like irregular heart beat, escaped beat that could be due to anxiety and it is common in this age of 19 years if it is not the congenital heart disease, if you have not tested for any congenital illness then it is advisable to rule this out and for that you have to see the cardiologist else try to come out of the stress or anxiety.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
