    Hi Anne
    I have had missed heartbeats for 8 months now and have been told they are not sinister. It is really hard to deal with i know! Stress and anxiety makes them worse they seem to feed off it. Try to ignore them if you can they wont harm you just frighten you there are a lot of people on here that suffer with them
    take care carol

    Hi there,

    My palps lasted for 2wks once , they really scared me but they did eventually go. Have you been watching the caffeine as this can cause them too worsen. Try not too worry as they are not sinister and stress makes them worse, i hope you feel better soon.

    Take care

    [|)]Hi There,
    This is my first post. I love this website!
    I have been getting heart palpitations since I was 25, I am 35 now. When I first got them they really freaked me out. I ate alot of tums because I had a lot of heartburn ( they gave me a placebo effect I am sure)with it and I was under alot of stress. Anyway they eventually went away. When I was 30 they came back. I was newly pregnant and my father had passed away. My heart would flip flop every couple of seconds sometimes. I would have episodes where it would do it all day a couple of times a minute. Thankfully I had good insureance and was pregnant so they took it very serious. They gave me a thing to record my heart. I wore that for a month, then had an ultrasound on it. I was perfectly fine. I did keep having the occasional episode. But it was Just stress and anxiety. The mind is a wild thing. I still get them now and it does still scare the crap out of me. I just try to ignore it Which isn't always easy. Hope this might help anyone who is going through it. The brain can do amazing things to our bodies.
