Re: stitch sensation in chest
Hi Norma
The reason your feeling all panicky is because you are constantly worrying about when the next bout of palpitations are going to attack. Adrenalin is being released into your already sensitized body, and this is the reason you are experiencing these nasty symptoms.
Although they are very frightening, please try to remember that palpitations are absolutely harmless. They will not cause a heart attack and they will not harm your heart in any way.
I spoke to a cardiologist some time ago, who told me that palpitations are actually 'normal', most adults get them at some point in their lives. I of course objected, and told him that it was the most frightening experience of my life, but he made me see reason by saying 'who are you to tell your heart how fast or how slow to go, it's kept you alive all these years with absolutely no input from you'.
This is a normal function from a healthy heart babe, just remember that.
Hope this helps reassure you. x
