I'm in my sixties now and suffered with severe palpitations since the age of 12. Yes I've had moments of extreme fear when they've been severe and caused the dizziness in my head and the feeling that I'm definitely dying.

But you're not going to die lulu.............not from palpitations anyway. They're terrifying but harmless and usually caused by too much adrenalin in the system. The best remedy is exercise ; take a brisk walk around the block and get your breathing under control so you're not in that vicious circle where you're tense & over-breathing and taking in too much oxygen.

Healthy breathing is where you allow the oxygen in your system to be converted naturally into carbon-dioxide ................it's basic biology, and that won't be achieved if you're panicking.

It goes hand in hand with anxiety issues lulu............. unless you intervene and take control.

Good luck & best wishes. x
