Palpitations

Hi. I seem to have palpitations with every little activity that I do. I’ve had normal echocardiogram & ekgs but something as simple as washing dishes gives me palpitations. Could this just be anxiety and stress or something more serious. No chest pain or arm pain just fluttering and what feels like pauses in my heartbeat. Any advice helps. I’m also on lexapro 5 mg but have had palpitations way before starting the medication

I’ve realized I always think anxious thoughts when I’m doing things which causes them I’m trying to learn how not to freak out when I do little things. It’s a work n progress but the lexapro has been a big help. Thanks for responding

No problem. Any time feel better

Oh my, yes! I've had them off and on for years. I've had so many tests and EKGs run and they always come back fine. It really is just anxiety. Doesn't make it anymore pleasant but at least you know they won't hurt you. It has happened when just laying down and when busy doing something. You'll be fine.

Could be anxiety could be more. Anxiety causes the heart to speed up when Adrenalin is released (I’m on beta blockers to block my body releasing adrenaline) I would defo push your GP to listen to you
