Flutter in heart

[L1974]

Hello everyone, been having fluttery heart /palpitations symptoms for about 10 days, particularly worse when I am on my left side. I am also feeling full of wind in ribs area. I have had this before and it passed but it does worry me as puts me in the cycle of worrying something is wrong with my heart. I have a full health check a year ago everything was checked but do I go back to the doctor as this just feels uncomfortable and worries me and adds to the health anxiety symptoms. Anyone got any advice? Thanks

Hugs to you. I'm dealing with the same thing today. I've gone a few months with hardly a skip, but the past couple of days have gone from a flutter here and there to harder thumps. Like you, I feel like I've had every test in the book done. Tonight has been particularly bad. I took my rescue anxiety med, Xanax, and for the first time, it didn't feel like it helped much. That set off more anxiety thinking there was a health reason it didn't help. I called my counselor's emergency support and noticed that speaking with the counselor on call helped me relax. Even though it's nearly 6:45 AM though, I still haven't let my self relax enough to sleep. This anxiety business is such a pain. I just wanted you to know that you're not alone. Here's hoping that we both are able to perk ourselves up and have a lovely day.

Hi thanks for replying I’m in the uk so 4pm here. Just not sure why it’s happening again still have quite a bit to organise for Christmas but nothing I can’t do. Seems like my mind won’t let my body relax. I do also wonder if it’s wind causing this as I’m obviously taking more air in breathing faster and harder! I hate what this is doing to me! 😣

sounds like gas/ indigestion.that is making you anxious and nervous.

Deep breathe, you will be fine.
