Heart flutters

[Lauriem4]

So went out today and my children were having tantrums so got quite stressed! Anyway on the journey back i had heart flutters worse than usual and seem to race afterwards. Now has calmed down as ive got home. Anyone else experience this during a stressful period?

By all means Lauriem4... nothing is worse than getting stressed to the max and

having no outlet. It sounds like you might have been in the car when the tantrums

erupted. The minute we feel trapped in stress, our fear climbs because adrenaline

does. What might have helped get you home w/o the heart flutters is deep breathing,

exhaling long and slow. Also hydrating.

Once you got home, you were no longer feeling trapped plus you were able to

move your muscles by walking around as well as breathe more deeply. (bringing

down the adrenaline rush) Glad you are feeling better. Treat yourself

You so deserve it xx

Thanks for your reply. Yes i pulled into the petrol station as was panicked as i felt the irregular beats and sweating also probably due to a panic attack as i had been stressed all afternoon .xx

[Agora1 in reply to Lauriem4]

That's quite alright Laurie. You did the right thing in pulling off the road until you

could regain your senses and continue on safely. It sounds like it was a true panic

attack from all the stress of the day. Take some "me time" to breathe today and

relax those tight tense muscles. Make sure you hydrate to replace the water you

lost in sweating. Let us know how you are doing later. xx

Thanks will do . Do you think the irregular beats were caused by the panic and stress?

[Agora1 in reply to Lauriem4]

They were with me Laurie...High levels of adrenaline and being dehydrated

can and does get the heart to flutter... xx

[Lauriem4 in reply to Agora1]

Yes it does mine thats the thing i find the hardest to cope with xx

[Agora1 in reply to Lauriem4]

I agree.

I get heart flutters.. skipped beats and heart races to 160 when I am dumping epinephrine into my system every time I have a panic attack. Also it seems worse when I am stuck in a car or shopping. Hopefully you can get some down time today and focus on breathing or meditation ❤️

You were maxed out with stress and then your anxiety took over and you felt any and all movements / palpitations in your body. It happens to everyone but rest assured you are ok, happens to me too. Your body is resilient but you should consider taking 5 minutes next time step outside and take deep breaths. You are good, don’t worry & you aren’t alone.
