heart palpitations anxiety

hey guys. Me again, sorry to bother and ramble on, the past 3 days I’ve been having a few heart palpitations a day. Now I did phone my doctors and they told me this didn’t sound serious and it was normal. They said if the palpitations were regular every few minutes it would be a concern. I get 2 or 3 per day, always at different times. I do have some muscular pain in my chest which I think is due to sitting in the same position at my desk on the computer. My chest has felt very heavy which I also explained and the dr said this could be because I’m thinking about it so much and just advised me to take a painkiller. I struggle with EXTREME health anxiety so things like this a debilitating and stop me from going about my daily routine as I’m just filled with so much anxiety and fear.

Sorry for such a long winded post

Hi Littlechopsxo, you did the right thing by calling your doctor since he

knows you and your case history. Sitting at the computer can cause muscle

tightness as you are aware of. Sometimes, dehydration can play a part of

heart palps as well as stress. I know it's difficult when you have health anxiety.

Try to trust in your doctor and the words of advice he has given you in that it

doesn't sound serious. Feel better. :) xx

💔💔💔. The heart palpitations are scarey. I get them once in awhile and think the worst. Just wondering, have they done a EKG on you?
