Palpitations

[KateS10]

Tell me about your palpitations!!!! Please tell me I am not alone with them . I do get them throughout the day. I don’t get why I get them so often it scares me

Take deep breaths in through your nose, out through your mouth. Do this several times, and try to relax.

I get them too, it's actually my main symptom, despite being told all my tests came back normal.

I quit smoking cold turkey 11 months ago, and have lived in an anxiety torture chamber since.

Before the dr. put me on maintenance medication, I'd scurry to his office and/or the e.r. at least twice a month bc my heart rate would be up 120-130, then my brain would go into hyperdrive and make it worse!

Deep breathing does seem to help. Hope you are feeling better!

For me, sometimes just chatting helps a lot.

Hi Kate. I know it can be so scarey &I have a pacemaker & also chronic kidney failure + osteoporosis,can imagine the state I get into,but this site can be so helpful especially having someone to talk too. Which I don’t as I’m housebound other than my hospital visits so be strong keep deep breathing helps. Keep well & safe .Peggy x

No you are definitely not alone they are such a common symptom of anxiety

You are most probably getting them as you are anticipating them and scared of them

Please please look at Dr Claire Weeks videos on YouTube

Let them come and don't give them any attention in time they will go

Take care of yourself

Not sure if you have discussed with your dr, well worth a chat around your fears..see what they suggest.
