> Could it be Mitral Valve Prolapse?
djmmm - thank you so much for this suggestion. The skipping heartmeat began 10 days ago, and I thought I was going down with some kind of flu, on top of the depression/anxiety, because of the other symptoms - dizziness, headache, shivery. However, I've looked at a few sites about mitral valve prolapse since I read your post, and these symptoms are also mentioned. I'm not the 'typical' body type that they seem to outline (short and thin as opposed to tall and thin), but I do have very flexible joints!
I'm seeing the doctor later in the week and will suggest this. Do you have personal experience of this condition?
Thanks
Lizzy
