Hi
First time posting about this, so apologies if it is covered elsewhere.
I need some reassurance over my palpitations.
Since the end July/ beginning of August I have had palpitations which occur regularly; maybe about 30 times a day or so.
I have seen my GP and had 2 on the spot ECG done, and also wore a portable ECG monitor for 24 hrs; none of these detected anything abnormal.
I have been on Propranalol since August (40mg), and for the past 5 wks or so I have been on Citalopram (20mg) too.
My GP has put the palps down to anxiety issues (I have recently been told I am glucose intolerant/bordering Diabetes Type 2, and have undergone a major restructure with work...plus a rather stressful period leading up to a flight abroad; I hate flying and am a really nervous flier).
I guess naturally I'm worried that something has been missed or is not quite right somewhere, and I have to be honest and say it's scaring me somewhat.
Can anyone empathise with me and ease my fears please?
