I started hving health anxiety and other anxiety mostly regarded to death anxiety 6 months after my delivery that is in april 2014 and until now (very little now nov 2019). I always have severe body aches everyday.i started depressed.i hv anxiety more on heart issues and stroke.i fear that.i once i got a panic attacks after a full blown stress related family issues.i felt i was having a heart attack. I was so afraid..i felt i was standing on fire. From my feet to my hips then to my abdomen. It was burning..i sweat as if i was under a shower..i was shortness of breath..my heart was racing..i was dizzy..i ddnt really know what was happening..later i learn it was a panic attack..after that episode in july 2017 i started having heart palpitation..later same year in aug i was diagnosed with hyper thyroid after medication same yr it was hypo and nxt year it was gone..i ddnt have any type of thyroid..the body aches was due to inflammation as per doctor but never cure..i started prayer and read all books on prayer and others..i started forgive myself and others..am a good human always helping but i never got that from anyone.i was always humiliated and was taken for granted always but i never stop i continue help..everyone always laugh at me for my health anxiety.it really hurts when its my family member whom i help so many many times. Still my health anxiety..i got my test done and all my reports are good..medically am fit but what causes all this palps and pain..its stress as per doctors..i refuse to take anti depressant..i live without any joy..it sucks.one very day 2019 in april i was having digestive issues and family small issue i got a heart beat of 210bpm..i was shockwd and fear took me..i was normal..no shortness of breath..no dizzy..no pain..just fear..my bp usually down was 17/9 ..i drank vinegar..lemon and it bcame normal 11/9 but my heart still beating hard..it bcom 200bpm..we rushed to er

aneerj, years ago, I got myself to the ER when my heart started beating out of

control. It must have been super high that they hooked me up fast to a monitor,

pushed the defib cart in and had a nurse sit and watch me. I kept trying to watch

the heart monitor but couldn't quite see it from the bed. All of a sudden, the beeping

stopped. I told the nurse "I think I just died" actually the wire had gotten displaced. lol

After 2 hours and my fear building that they were going to use the paddles to convert

me to regular sinus rhythm, I told the doctors, if you just give me a Xanax, I know I would

be okay. They did and 20 minutes later I was once again in Normal Sinus Rhythm Pulse 80.

They thought it was a miracle but I knew it was Anxiety Caused.

I will agree that gas, bloating can do a number on the heart. For me, it would produce

skipped beats and not fast rhythm. Sometimes we are our own best Advocates. xx

Thx for your reply. You make me laugh when you said "i think i just died"..actually i was always having light palpitations and all doctors told its nothing heart related n its just anxiety.i had all heart test.heart is healthy.but the only time i had that 210bpm.it was so scary.when i wss admit i was monitored for the night.after 3 time veins infusion the beat was not slow.after xanax and metoprolol cachet it was still on 120bpm.they told me to sleep.who can sleep when you dht knw what is happening with your heart.i did not sleep i kept looking at the monitor machine.finally the nurse told me to relax not to look at it.i continued n finaly put the screen away.then afterwards it came back to 70bpm.i was discharged with medication.i was temporarily diagnosed Psvt and until now its not confirm but i knw its related to digestive bcoz that day i was passing gas so very much (sorry to use this word) and was belching lots and i was having really stressful situation at home..so..its evident..so did you get that palps again.are you on medication..

[Agora1 in reply to aneerj]

aneerj, I never did have that episode again. I am on Metoprolol

for blood pressure which in turn helps with the heart beat. I no longer

have daily (yes daily) phone therapy. I call in once in a while but I know

what needs to be done, it's just a matter sometimes of releasing stress.

I do use Meditation and Breathing multiple times a day which helps

in keeping the mind and body at peace. I'm no longer on benzos because

I can control my emotions myself. I see my doctor regularly who oversees

my medication.

In your situation, you saw how strong the mind can be in a stressful episode.

That even Xanax and Metoprolol couldn't bring down the h/r UNTIL...they hid

the monitor from you. Our minds are that powerful in controlling our body to

respond physically when it is an emotionally caused event.

When we are anxious, we tend to swallow more air which makes us belch. When we

don't expel that air, it sometimes pushes up against the heart and can cause palps.

It is usually a benign issue. xx

Thanks..you are so right and you hit the topic which i think also its a digestive issue.

since May 2019 am on metpure xl 25 a type of metoprolol..i saw my cardiologist after 3 months ie aug 2019 and he asked hw i was with the palps..i told him the truth that inspite of the medication i still get the palps smtime and only once it was like 110bpm.after listening to me he told me that its nthg heart related and that he will continue to prescribe me the metpurexl25 just like he is treating a headache n later he suggest that i should consult a psychologue to discuss my fear.i refuse as i dnt want to be on anti depressive med.he confirm that a psychologue dnt prescribe such n that its a therapy.

But never had any therapist since..but with prayer etc my palps are gone apart from the fact that its my digestive who creates that am sure..i got an appointment in March with the cardiologist..am sure he will now off my medication but you know what am a bit afraid if that happen again without the meds?

Anywsy i trust myself n i will take it from you that our mind are very smart..we have to learn how to handle things..thank you

Hi aneerj I have also had really fast heart rate a few times on 3 occasions so bad I went to the ER and even though they said not stomach related I know they are because every time it has happened I also had heartburn or poop problems.

[aneerj in reply to Sasical]

Actually they have not learn this in their stages so they dnt understand.its not necessary if no one had it before means that it does not exist.i bet its this.there is a cardiologist on you tube..you search it.its Dr Sanjay Gupta Cardiologist.he is from new york.he explains it so very well..in between what was your heart rate?

[Sasical in reply to aneerj]

150-180

[aneerj in reply to Sasical]

Did they gave you medication for the high heart beat

[Sasical in reply to aneerj]

aneerj thank you SO MUCH for that link to Dr Sanjay Gupta. He is fantastic! I wish I could have him as a doc I would ask him if he has ever heard of heart palps, sweating and anxiety everytime I have to poop. All doctors don't have a clue and look at me as if I'm loopy.

[aneerj in reply to Sasical]

I got same weird look from doctors and they mayb thought am crazy but am nit and you are not either..the sweating thing before poop is very normal and lits of people had it..you asks n calm yourself..
