Heart skips or palpitations

[Drene]

Hi all, is anyone having heart flips like too often? I have been having this little flips too often and it scares me. I did two types of ecg saw a cardiologist and he says my heart is fine. Even in his office my heart was flipping and he heard it from stethoscope. Anyway how do I stop it. I have anxiety disorder all started almost nine years ago after giving birth I haven't been the same since. I tried drinking spinach for magnesium, I drink coconut water for electrolyte all these I read about, but this morning my heart flips again. can anyone relate. Breathe deeply stops it but it comes back after a while.

This is the story of my life. I've been having palpitations daily for almost a year. I just got off the phone with my cardiologists office to see if I can get a med increase or med change because the pills I take now do nothing for them. I'm praying something helps them.

[Drene in reply to Lightattheend]

Oh my, I try to ignore it to keep my sanity and don't panic but anxiety is a daily struggle I hate it. Some days my legs feel weak I am nervous all over people can't see but I feel it. It's a constant mind fight.

I’m also on the same boat. I’ve been dealing with heart Lalo’s/ anxiety for 6 years. They are so random and feel different at times. I can be just sitting relaxed and BAMM or I can be walking or twisting and BAMM. They have a mind of they’re own. I’ve also been told I’m fine but I can’t understand how that can be true. Also they seem to be happing more often for the past 2 months. It drives me nuts!

[Drene in reply to Ceelos81]

Makes me so nervous at times it's hard to relax, then I feel sick with all my sensations and thoughts

[Ceelos81 in reply to Drene]

How would you disprove yours? Do they happen random, during activity or when relaxed?

[Ceelos81 in reply to Ceelos81]

Look at my wall of post you can see all what I’ve been through in the past couple of years

[Ceelos81 in reply to Ceelos81]

Meant describe not disapprove

[Minnie87]

Wow I could have written your post!if you ever get chance have a look at my wall!

I too have been told it’s all anxiety!bit I still get racing,skipping,flipping,thudding etc etc.im on propranolol and that does help.always here if you need a chat or a rant!

[Drene in reply to Minnie87]

Can we exchange numbers so we can chat easier. It's so hard to talk to people that can't relate they stress me out more so I just keep quiet an pretend. I just want a real person. It's funny but I sometimes think this link got robots on it.

[Minnie87 in reply to Drene]

I don’t give my number out on here.sorry,you just never know who people are.but you can always talk to me on here anytime😃

[Drene in reply to Minnie87]

Just seeing this, I understand. It's just that I was talking to someone here some years ago and her messages kept coming in repeat and all over the place nothing made sense, I thought it was a robot, lol

I totally forgot that anyone can read these it's open. Wow sorry

[Minnie87 in reply to Drene]

Oh no it’s okay!dont worry I totally get what you mean!and I know just how frustrating palpitations are!they plagued me everyday!and even though they are caused by anxiety they still feel horrible!

[Drene in reply to Minnie87]

Hi girl,

I am still here, been taking becomplex capsule so far I still get the heart skips just will waych it for a while. Other stuff bothers me though. Do you get like dizzie feelings not like stuff spinning but like off balance and when you stand still you feel nothing. I will be fine one minute then the next weird feelings. I get like little zap in my head too. It's makes me think brain tumor and other awful stuff. The zap is like a slight twitch then stop. At times it triggers other weird feelings and sometimes nothing else happens. Girl I just want this to go away for good, I wonder if anyone ever gets cured

I have them allllll the time. I think mine are more when I move or bend the wrong way and pinch something or have gas/bloating in my stomach because usually right after a palpation I burp, I also realized they might because of GERD/hiatal hernia, and food going back up and pushing on stuff 😭 because whenever I get them I feel a fullness in my upper stomach, I’ve been having them since I was 16 (I’m 22 now) and it’s still scary 😭

[Drene in reply to Lexirae_]

Sad to hear from so young, I am going to try b12 and see if it helps.

[Minnie87 in reply to Lexirae_]

Yes!!!omg this is exactly me!!!! Xxx

I went to the doctors over my heart apparently skipping. It gradually got worse over a period of months and I thought I was about to have a heart attack. Doctor ran tests and all ok. It was stress. Brought on by huge amounts of travel weekly and no time to recover. I was prescribed Prozac and have had CBT and no more palpitations. I’ve changed my job for one where I don’t travel. Life is looking up.

[Drene in reply to Mathiecat]

Mmm I too have the middle back pain it's like severe tightness. I am looking into b12 I don't like pills but what to do. Thinking to try it.

[RyL83]

Hi Drene, as long as the tests come back normal then that's a good way to start. As you know, the real battle is with your mind. It's really hard to stop once you become hyper aware. I'm still dealing with mine, I try to eat healthy (PLWF) to lessen any inflammation I may have. I'm still at a state where if I feel any pain (I have chronic middle-upper back pain), whether it's just a headache, left arm pain (Triceps or forearms), pins-needles on fingers, slight numb lower legs, muscle or nerve twitches... my brain automatically think it's something serious thus anxiety/panic attack sets in. I was prescribed anxiety medications but decided to take a different route as I was afraid of the side effects that comes with it. Generally, try to put yourself on the low risk category, which my doctor says - maintain a healthy weight, avoid-stop smoking, drinking liquor, added sugar, oil, dairy, processed foods.

Hi I suffer with bad palpitations, I’ve recently been taking vitamin B12( 6 weeks now) and after 4 weeks I had no palpitations for 18days. The last couple of days I’ve had a few flutters but nothing like they were. Maybe give the B12 a go.

[Drene in reply to Hidden]

Thanks I will give it a try.

[AnxiousMom]

Many over the counter products can cause this. I can't take anything that is a decongestant or even a vitamin that has too much vitamin D. Also, if you have a hiatal hernia, sometimes the pressure can randomly cause this to happen. Not saying you have all those issues - just my experience. And yes, it is unnerving and worrisome.

[Drene in reply to AnxiousMom]

Thanks much, I am going to try b12

[Lauriem4]

Yes i have this had several at work today and send me into a panic . Had a monitor and they are pvcs or extra beats . Look at sanjay gupta ectopic beats and anxiety helps reassure me alot as everyone gets them but because prople with anxiety are hyper aware we feel them much more .

[Drene in reply to Lauriem4]

Thanks dear, I am going to try b12 and see if it helps.

[Dean872]

My heart is at it all time it's horrible

Some times I can go days without then can have 20 skipped beats in a hour,

It's annoying coz no one can tell u why this is happening

Good advice because sometimes nothing seems to work. We have to be strong and grin and bear it sometimes.
