There worse when I'm in a panic state or after my heart stops beating like crazy! Then the flutters kick in. Then I think something is really wrong with me but I know it's all apart of anxiety but I just can't snap out of it-talk myself down! Thanks for replying 😃

No problem! Oh i know how that is. I hate that Gut feeling. Like when your about to get on a ride and then the butterflies kick in thats how i feel when iam about to get a panic attack. My feet sweat i get impatient and i talk to myself and say iam ok iam ok you can get through this. Its sucks that we have to live life ev r yday fighting anxiety:(

I know that feeling all to we'll! I get bad depression with it, which makes it worse.. I have an appointment with my Dr tomoz to go back on meds!!

If this is something new for you to experience and you have not had any tests on your heart done so far, then I would seek medical advice as soon as possible. If it is something you get regularly, and you have had tests on your heart done, then very likely it is anxiety doing its worst to convince you that something bad will happen. So many people with anxiety get this feeling or symptom.

I got this back in September from my first panic attack. I've had 2 ecg done and my heart fine! The flutters stayed on and of for around a month slowly disappeared from my chest to my stomach! Now this last week my anxiety is back and so come the flutters!! I'm going back to Dr tomoz see what he thinks.

Good luck, the reassurance from the doctor should help some.
