From last year and half I'm facing heart palpitations issues. Such as fast heart rate it happens out of blue and then gose down in 10 min tops.
My main and long facing issues are hearing my own heart beats loud not fast when I'm lay down or quietly sitting down.
After a meal it gets worse. I can hear my heart beat loud.
Many times I went to hospital everything's comes normal. I done my ECG, 14 DAYS HOLTER MONITOR, HEART MRI , STRESS ECO, all comes normal but this issue still not near to go awey. I had many sleepless nights due to this.
If anyone facing same issue as me please advise me what to do next.

Ah, well that's good.Hmm these things are a mystery. I hear my heart all the time and have done for years....very annoying.You say your heart races at rest, how fast does it go?
they said if ur blood pressure isnt 120 or under or 80 or under its high because the heart has to work harder the heart is very sensitive so people be thinking there pressure is good because its 122 over 82 thats high not bad but hig its over and the heart has to work harder
Hi Amr I am a new user and was looking for advice in regard to my own heart condition and the fact I feel I am not getting the correct help from my consultant. I have now been diagnosed with coronary disease. I have mild irregularities in the LAD and also in the left main stem and narrowing of the three main arteries. I have a calcium score of 411 and high cholesterol. I have had several tests including angiogram and echocardiogram and have a reveal device fitted in my chest to monitor my heart. The reason I am replying to you is because I have exactly the same symptoms you have described. Best wishes.
Thanks for replay. I went through a lot of examination like I did my 24 hrs ecg 3 times 14 days holter monitor 2 times, 1 time cardic MRI ,2 times ultrasound and 1 times stress eco and number of times ECG in hospital. Not even once any ecg or any reports comes with any issues.
I've seen 4 different cardiologist all says same we done all examination and discard me from their care.
I still have same issue but don't knew wt to do next as I done everything I should be doing. My doc says ur only 28. It very rare u will have heart blockage and I've seen it in cardic MRI all valve's was in normal width. Don't knew how accurate it is.
As all your tests have not shown any defects, which is good, perhaps you are suffering from anxiety/stress has your doctor considered this possibility?
Yeh. As usual when there's noting in report it all falls into anxiety box. I'm always happy never have any stress in life.soo anxiety if far far awey. I was watching friends once , I'm laughing but out of blue my heart gose 160 and then after 10 min back to 80. Really when I explain these things to doctors they say ur having anxiety.
then u know what u just have to take it like u have whatever it is u thinking it is and i mean eating according to that diet because thats what im doing whatever bothers me i dont eat it no more like i think i have angina but they saying all my test are good u fine ur heart is fine xray of chest ekg everything is clean but i feel like trash i hear my heart beat i have chest pains i have it in my neck shoulders back pain in the middle of the chest pain on the left side and they saying im good so i just do what diet it is they say for angina because i dont trust them doctors and it aint there life
With the caveat that I’m not medically qualified. The word palpitation literally just means an awareness of your heartbeat. People often use it as a term to indicate there’s something wrong with their heart, but this is actually incorrect; palpitations are only a problem when they happen as a symptom of something else, for example because you have an arrhythmia and the heart is beating irregularly. There are times when palpitations can be entirely normal, such as feeling your heart beating when you’ve had a fright, or during strenuous exercise, and some people are just more aware of their heart beating generally.
Did you have episodes of palpitations and/or high heart rate whilst on the Holter? If so, it would have picked up any underlying, concerning reason like an arrhythmia. If you didn’t have any episodes whilst on the monitor, particularly of the high HR, it’s possible that you could still have an intermittent arrhythmia: conditions like supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) can be short lived and self-limiting, meaning they start and stop suddenly by themselves. This would still need diagnosing, but SVT is relatively benign, and unlikely to do you any serious harm. It’s more unpleasant than anything, although some people - like myself - do need help to stop prolonged episodes, and daily medication is taken by many people with it to help block adrenaline (which can trigger episodes) and lower the heart rate a bit.
Based on what you’ve said, it sounds like you’ve had all of the main tests that would pick up an arrhythmia or other condition responsible for your palpitations: some people do just notice their heart beating more frequently than others. SVT aside, I feel my heart beating for several minutes at least once most days, as well as having an awareness of my premature contractions (which are the trigger for episodes of SVT). We know that once we become aware of things like premature contractions (often referred to here as ectopics, or ectopic beats), it almost hardwires us to notice more; we now believe that almost everyone has them, it’s just most people don’t notice them, but if you surveyed people that are aware of having ectopics, I suspect you’d find many of us reporting a much higher incidence of palpitations generally because our brains and bodies are more alert to noticing what the heart is doing. Just a thought, but there is also a known link between ectopics and eating for some people, as eating and digesting food involves the vagus nerve, which runs past the heart between the brain and stomach, so some people do find they regularly get palpitations after eating. Similarly, for some people they’re also positional; I can reliably give myself palpitations and ectopics by lying on my left side or bending forward. As I’m typing this, I wonder if that’s exactly what’s going on here: you’re having PVCs and/or PACs (premature ventricular and atrial contractions respectively) and that’s what’s triggering the palpitations. It’s common to have palpitations after noticing an ectopic happening. They also tend to occur more frequently when we’re relaxed, so many people notice them when sitting watching tv or in bed. Have you seen the holter report? Any PVCs and PACs you had during monitoring will be documented on there.
Hi Thanks for taking time to reply. I had fast heart rate symptoms while wearing holtor monitor atleast 4 to 6 timrs. All of them comes as sinus rhythm with fast heart rate (tachycardia).
I am in a similar situation, I have been advised to give Tea up as the caffeine is no good and apparently alongside goes the chocolate! Let's hope this is the reason?!The advice came yesterday at the chemist. I am waiting for a monitor too.
