It's part of your Anxiety don't let it bother you let it be and in you mind say to yourself I am calm and relaxed x

Hi mofo

It does take you by surprise when you think you have switched of & then it rears its head ,see it as an unwanted visitor that was trying to knock & come in & tell it to go away :-/

Happens to me all the time.

I have it first thing in the morning 'cos am used to thinking about it as soon as I wake up. Sometimes it is there all day long(everytime I think about it-of course)

Just tell it to go away any try to place your thoughts elsewhere. Says me!!

Did someone say they get it around their monthlies?

I've had it for about last 8 or9 days and had monthly too. Will have to monitor that one and get back to you. Xxx

I am so glad you all mentioned its worse around "monthlies" I actually told my doc this and she looked at me like I was crazy. This forum is better than my doctor's office because you validate my condition better than they do and reassure me!! Thanks!!!! xo

Hi mofo, this is exactly how my anxiety started and made me totally focus on heart disease. I struggle to understand when I feel chilled relaxed and happy that then I have a palpitation to start me worrying even more. It does make u feel there is no end. Although I have seen a cardiologist and it turns out they are so common and when they happen at rest they are harmless so that's all ways a good sign :-) xx
