Yes its a normal stress response. I get them too all the time, doctor assures me its only a heart palpatation. X

[gettingbetter09 in reply to anxietymadman123]

Yes, defo. Really nothing to worry about, i get them multiple times a week, im so used to them now they dont bother me. If your really worried have a wee chat with your doctor to put your mind at rest.

I did an ecg and the doctors said everything was OK. I actually did like 5-6. Just to be sure

I have felt that before. I had high blood pressure. I had to change my eating habits and exercise more. Also my doctor gave me water pills since I retain water which was due to the blood pressure. AAAANNNNDD the anxiety was making it worse also lol. Hope you feel better.

Yep, I get the ectopic beats, "flutters" to the tune of 20,000 per day and I've had every test imaginable that tells me I'm fine. The pressure sucks and is made worse when I'm stressed or feeling anxious. Try deep breathing, avoiding carbonated beverages and keeping your mind busy as much as possible. If I find myself sitting quietly for too long, I start getting anxious about the feel of my off beats so everywhere I like to relax I keep little things to do to occupy me: books, magazines, crosswords, coloring books, etc.
