2010625 tn?1329372056 Have any of you had heart palpitations without feeling anxious, or with no anxiety attack? I did an experiment and took an Ativan (I only take them as needed) to see if it would make them go away. That was an hour ago, and no change they are still there. I have been to the doctors a couple times recently, and they saw nothing abnormal. I guess anything is possible, but this just seems odd to me??? So what do you guys think?
1373434 tn?1284820769 Hi there. I'm suffering from anxiety, and for the last 6 days I've had none stop heart palpitations. Does anyone else ever have this? Is it part of my anxiety? I've been to the doctors and they say there isn't anything to worry about, but it didn't help. They are worse when i wake up in the night for the toilet and it's really upsetting me. When i got to the doctors my heart stopped messing about. Typical.
Avatar m tn I'm a 20 year old girl and lately i've been feeling really weird. About 2 days ago my chest felt really tight and my breathing was weird- almost like someone was sitting on me. My chest would get randomly tighter and then release. I didn't sleep all night. The next day, the same thing happened except I started getting heart palpitations- or i think that's what it is. It feels like my heart is fluttering or something.
Avatar m tn t know if its anxiety making it worse or it actually being worse and causing more anxiety. I think about my heart all the time. Even with medicine I am continually anxious. The idea of going back to the doctor to have him repeat all of those tests is terrifying, too. Have always read posts and never have done this before. I am so tired of living in fear every single day. I am on Xanax and Lexapro--but they don't help much. Just really needed to let it our.
Avatar n tn Hi all! I've been to the ER this week with constant heart palpitations. The doc did an ECG and blood work and said there's nothing concerning. My monthly appointment is next week with my family doc so I'll discuss it with him. But I'm wondering if anyone experienced these more often during pregnancy. I had them randomly before, but lately it's anytime I breathe in deep. And they're very frequent. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I'm 15 years old and have been suffering with anxiety for about 6 months now , and it hasn't been getting any better. It first started with heart palpitations when on my PS3 then they wouldn't stop for about a week , this was in August 2015 . Now it's April 10 2016 and I now suffer with social anxiety and depression. My heart palpitations have came back an I'm scared because it's making my heart feel like it's stopping and jumping out of my chest .
Avatar n tn Many people over on the forum feel like you do - when I was diagnosed with skipped beats (hundreds a day) I too felt unable to leave the house and fully expected to drop dead, panic attacks, paralysed with anxiety. Three years later and my heart is still okay, and even got me through a major operation. I still have the skipped beats (which are much reduced now), but nothing has ever happened.
3166043 tn?1514260018 So I just got back from a ER a few hours ago. Why? Well I'll tell you. About 3 days ago or so I started getting heart palpitations while laying down after I took my Serequel to get ready to sleep. They would last about a half hour to a hour and 15 or 20 so palpitations I would eventually fall asleep. I thought nothing of it but then it happened again the next night and the next ect. I started developing panic attacks cause I was concerned that I had a heart problem or something was wrong.
Avatar n tn I'm a 20 year old female, 115 lbs. 5'2". I've never been seriously ill and have a pretty clean family history when it comes to health (aside from my mother who has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). The only problems I have are really bad anxiety and panic attacks that I take medication for (though I still get panic attacks pretty frequently).
Avatar n tn nt hurt. it does sound like anxiety to me because i have it and i get heart palps when my anxiety is high. did they check your potassium level? sometimes that can cause heart palps. if it happens again drink a glass of orange juice and see if that helps, it has potassium in it. your awfully young to be having heart problems but you should get it checked out just so you'll feel better and not be so worried. take care.
1298554 tn?1336006851 Anxiety is something that can make us feel more symptoms with our hearts and many people who have palpitations also have anxiety to some extent. The anxiety can cause the heart to act up, and when the heart acts up, it can cause our anxiety to manifest itself. It really is an ongoing cycle. Let your doctor know how he is making you feel. Tell him you need to understand what is going on so that you can do your best to deal with what you're feeling and the anxiety that accompanies it.
Avatar f tn If you are only 17 I would say it is unlikely that you have heart problems. However, EKGs do not show everything and you should definitely ask about wearing a heart monitor to check it out. The reason why I wouldn't blame anxiety just yet, is because you used the description of squeezing and the fact it occurred when you were lying down. That is a lot different from anxiety chest tightness. Do you cough or anything?
Avatar f tn Anyone else getting bad heart palpitations? They always say its normal but its getting really annoying. I even got sent home from work (Forever21) cuz I started crying. Its just really hard and loud. Makes it hard to sleep. How do you make it better?
503607 tn?1275671579 I was not diagnosed for 6 years, I was having SVT and it was never caught on a monitor. I have anxiety attacks over excercising mostly, I am afraid my heart will go into an arrythmia if my heart rate goes up.
Avatar f tn I have a history of heart palpitations due to anxiety. Any help or advice would be appreciated from anyone. Thankyou in advance!

Avatar f tn I'm 44 now & from 17 was probably checked by at least 8 -10 different cardiologists, including one the best Electrophysiologist at that time(1987 & 1993) and nothing significant was found wrong with my heart(normal heart). I'm still very heartbeat aware(probably is what caused the anxiety in the first place). Symptoms included rapid heartbeats and PVCs with high resting heartrated in 100-120 range.
358304 tn?1409709492 My Anxiety is getting better, but I still for the past 8 days have had really bad heart palpations 24/7. It keeps me up at night, hard for me to sleep... b/c its like my body is working overtime. Is there any natural way to stop heart palpitations? Will exercise help? I've tried the deep breathing ect. doesnt seem to help. You can see my pulse buldging out of my neck. That's how strong they are.
1535881 tn?1296706256 I was just laying in bed nearly asleep and then BAM I get hit with a very abrupt heart palpitation, I was told that you get palpitations caused by your anxiety, but these are really scary, it felt like my heart stopped for a quick second then it just started racing really fast and hard, I immediately went into panic mode. Why do you get palpitations? Should I go see a cardiologist, I'm so scared.
789820 tn?1315448513 All the tests were negative and was told it was anxiety. I told him I have the symptoms of fluttering and rapid heart beat when I am sitting and reading or just relaxing. He told me many people have them, but are unaware and for me not to worry as there is nothing wrong with my heart. I also experienced feeling light headed from time to time. It took a few months and the symptoms gradually went away. I get them from time to time, but ignore them, and I'm fine.
1378381 tn?1444866015 but the issue with the heart palpitations wont go away. i think i may go to the doctor but i am really nervous to. i mean going to the mental health people was nessicary and people kept telling me so they told me so, so i got it into my head. but because i dont feel this is nessiccary i really can't move myself.i went up to the doctors today to pick up my dads prescription and i was going to ask for an appointment but im too nervous about it.
Avatar f tn Sometimes when I have the palpitations I also feel like my heart races and I get really nervous and shaky feeling. I have had an ekg, echo and wore a holter monitor. I have pvcs and pacs but other than that the cardiologist found nothing wrong. My general doctor believes I have anxiety which may be attributing to my palpitations. Do you all think this could be anxiety because if it's not I have no idea what this terrible feeling is that I have daily. It's really starting to get to me.
Avatar f tn Just heart palpitations
Avatar n tn Every month right before her cycle she has palpitations this last for about 5 days? Should I bring her to a heart doctor?
Avatar f tn I have been having heart palpitations for about 10 months now. Within the last couple of months it has went from heart skipping or flip flopping to heart racing, getting real hot in the face and neck. I was then told I was having panic attacks. Dr put me on Sertraline 50 mg (which the side affects have been awful but getting better). It seems as though the panic attacks have went done to very small ones but I still have the heart skipping.
994817 tn?1249738278 I really hope its all just anxiety, because I know that many symptoms of anxiety and stress seem like heart related problems. But they just feel so real and freighting; I'm seriously going out of my mind every second of the day thinking I'm dying! I'm scared all the time and cry constantly because I just don't know what to do.
5915940 tn?1376618634 I have been experiencing what I assume to be heart palpitations for a few months now. I have had them on and off for years but in the recent months I have been having a few times a week. What I experience is a 'thud' or a hard 'pulse' type feeling in my throat. (on the bottom soft part before the sternum, if that information matters) I might get one here and there but a few times I have had mutiple in a row. The most being five or six.
