jumpy heart at 3am!

[mothermac]

Hi everyone
Really having another bad night again. Didn't get to sleep until about 12 midnight and woke up suddenly about half an hour ago with palpatations. I had an E.C.G 3 days ago so i daren't go back and moan again the doc will think i'm stupid. I just want to have a decent nights kip,I feel really lost at this moment and tired.

I'm so sorry:hugs: I wish i had advice but i have palpitations myself so i just wanted to let you know your not alone. I'm having them as i'm typing:mad:

Try putting some water in the fridge and some ice cubes. If you wake with palps try chewing the ice-cubes or drinking the icy water, it often has the effect of shocking them away.

No seriously it does

A beer fridge by the side of the bed saves going downstairs :)

I had some out of the blue jumpy palpitations last night also. takes you totally by surprise doesn't it.

I second what inchy says. Also deep breaths in and out, I did this in hospital and it worked a treat.

Your not alone, thats the main thing, and palpitations are just another thing with this darned anxiety!

Breath in & Hold your breath for 10 secs. It'll stop them in its tracks!
