Hey guys,
I've posted similar things before, and gotten answers which I believed to be true. Just want to run these symptoms by you and see if there really is nothing to worry about.
I'm 23, I smoke about 10 a day, drink caffeine but not coffee usually tea or green tea and not all the time. My diet is not perfect either.
I have been very stressed for around 8 weeks if not more, had a whole heap of symptoms develop and this anxiety/symptom has been there from before this started until this day.
I have been getting heart palpitations, skipped beats, fluttering sensations and chest pain. From what I have noticed, it is always when I am relaxed.. or atleast sitting down. Description:
- One or two occasions it feels like my heart stops, then kicks back (dont feel a thud) but my body just seems to wake up again and i get an electric shock feeling pass through my body afterwards
- Heart fluttering happens a lot, every day now at least, cannot pinpoint it to anything in particular, im drinking more water etc.
I think the 'electric shock' feeling comes from anxiety and will happen whenever i get scared of something, so not worried about that.
The issue I have is with work, my bosses are literally sick and tired of me having days off to see people/appointments and such like. So my doctors thinks my heart is fine, by reffered me for a 24 hour ECG just in case, I just don't think I can get time off any time soon.
What I personally think is it is all down to anxiety, and I'm fairly ok at dealing with this, I would just like to know if these sound like very common symptoms of anxiety and I shouldn't worry about them, or if I should risk losing my job just to have a 24 hour ecg?
The other thing to mention is I have started dating more recently, which I hadn't done for a number of years. Could this all be down to hormone changes etc?
Thanks.
