Has anyone noticed a strong decrease in palpitations

[Worrygirl32]

I just want to know if there is anyone who has experienced palpitations in the past that doesn't experience the often anymore. I really hope this isn't something I will have to deal with forever. I'm 25. I heard breathing techniques help

I go through periods were I get them frequently and then they settle down.

Hello :)
I used to have palpitations all the time when my Health Anxiety was really bad, 5-6 years ago. I was convinced I'd have to live with them forever but as my anxiety decreased, so did the palpitations. Not sure what your scenario/history is, but in my case, I was overly hyper-vigilant to my symptoms and was anxious about every little thing my heart did. So naturally I noticed the palpitations a LOT more!

Either way, they're gone now.

Hope you feel better soon!

I had them last year. I occasionally still get them if I have moments of high adrenaline, but they don't scare me, so it's fine. And 99% of the time, I don't get them at all.

Mine are pretty much gone now. I used to have them really bad a few years ago and they just kind of went away. I think either I truly quit fearing them so that lessened the anxiety and they went away or they were related to my hypothyroid and the medicine fixed that. Don't worry, they are harmless.

I had to them for many months. Every single day and night. I thought about them most of the time. The only time I didn't have them was when I was at work. I'm a teacher and having a classroom full of kids leaves no time to think about anything unrelated to them. One day they just stopped. I have had them return several times but never for longer than a couple of hours. I know the reason why and that is because I don't let them consume my thoughts. I just assign them no importance at all. Eventually they will stop for you too.

27, here. Had them since I was 14/15 maybe. Mine come and go, I've learned to kind of accept them now. Some feel really scary still, but I try to just welcome them and let them pass. Someone once told me, "don't think of it as a skipped beat or palp, think of it as an extra beat because your heart's got your back". There are many ways you can make them seem less scary. I find that I get mine during really stressful times, around my period/on my period, and sometimes if I have TOO much sugar.
