instruction: hello doctor my partner recently stopped taking antianxiety medications he is a severe hypochondriac specifically a cardiophobe he has experienced palpitations of various intensifies for years he has had multiple echocardiograms the most recent one being less than two years ago all of which cleared him of all and any conditions but after going off the medicines he has had a resurgence in the intensity of skipped heartbeats particularly when bending over they also sometimes happen when he is climbing stairs but when he is exercising they do not happen is there a connection between bending over and skipped heartbeats that can occur in people who have no medical condition
output: hello welcome to icliniq com generally any type of activity could present with a skipped heartbeat it is just a coincidence that he has heart skips when he bends over there is no correlation between bending over and heart skip I advise him to continue exercising and adopt a healthy lifestyle it will go a long way in helping him beta blockers are also a good option if he is not getting better I hope this helps
