    Fluttering and cough

    Hi there

    Pretty sure it's just anxiety. I've had it on and off for years .My dr says the cough is the bodys way of correcting the palp/flutter

    Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

    In one of Claire Weekes books she says something about a guy having a palpitation then coughing. I have certainly done that too so it must be reasonably common.

    yeah you probably get startled and a little saliva goes down the wrong pipe on the inbreath. yeah... a sudden inbreath can do that.

    I went in to the dr. for this same thing. I don't normally go in but felt that since it was my heart that I should get it checked out. They did blood work, an EKG and then I wore a holter monitor for 24 hours... oh the tape they use to put that on!! OUCH!!!
    Anyway, it was anxiety and I felt silly for going in, but at least now I know that I really need to get help for it if it is going to affect my heart! I also stay away from too much caffine!
    Hope you feel better soon.
