Hi Fisher

Yes - I suffer exactly the same - have done for nearly 4 years now - and I'm still here. Not sure what causes them but I know how worrying they can be. Someone on this forum said that you should think of two drummers pumping out the beat one is strong and regular and you hardly know he's there but this other idiot called Ectopic hits out as he sees fit. Ignore him - he's no danger cos the other one is keeping it all under control in the background.

Hope this makes sense and give you some reasurance. You could also try some deep breathing to settle yourself.

It's all in the mind! - my doctor told me.

Don't worry Fisher, they are harmless. I've had them for over a year now and they have only just stoped scaring me, and because they have stoped scaring me they are abaiting. And at times I'v had them soo bad I could of cried and cried all day. But that was when they really scared me. When i thought i was going to drop dead. Now i no I'm not. My Doc said they are so common with anxiety. It's my one and only symptom now. I used to ge tension headaches too that lasted for days...

I've had all the checks, every thing normal of course.

When and if? you get them again. relax!!! they will go...
