painful skipping beats heart...anyone ?

So as I mentioned before I went today to my cardiologist and he checked everything.The PM was working fine and he used some tool (I don't know honestly what is it)to check my heart muscle by pressing on my heart(maybe a defibrillator I don't know) and he told me that my heart muscle is fine but he saw that I had skipping beats.He prescribed 2.5mg of Concor/day and told me it's not something serious since my heart muscle if good..I asked him if the pain I'm feeling is due to these skipping beats he told yes and the medicine should correct that...so did anyone had pain along with those skipping heart beats ???is it normal? I do trust my Dr. but I'm becoming very concerned these days although now I'm feeling a bit better since I went to see him..

Thanks for your advice dear I will try it.It's "good " to hear that someone else knows what you feel and know what you mean!
Btw I checked on the internet what was the machine my doc used to check my heart muscle,it was a Echocardiogram.I didn't know what was it when he used it on me lol.

I too had painful skipped beats. I was not given any meds as they said they did not come often enough. The last 2 weeks or so it has subsided for me. The pain is real. I would try "deep breathing" to help you relax when they occur.(lay down on bed or couch, breathe so your belly moves up and down when you breathe, like a babys' belly does.)
Hope this helps.
