View Full Version : pounding heartbeats
hi everyone
i suffer everyday with lightheadedness & dizziness but sometimes i can be relaxing & suddenly i start having fast heartbeats , i can even hear them, then it starts freaking me out & i don't undrestand why it starts sometimes when im not feeling panicky! i don't have it for days then it will just come out of the blue. sometimes it lasts for a while then other tmes its a few minutes.
does anyone else get these weird heartbeats from nowhere?

hmm well i get hardpalpitations, anything can set them off.
i get that im relax and then i will get two or three fast hard heart beats,
i'm sure its nothing to worry about
Hi donna, could they be ectopics, which is where your heart chucks in an extra heartbeat in between normal beats, then pauses, gives a hard beat then carries on a usual? Some people don't feel the extra beat but feel the pause and hard beat. I feel the extra beats more, and my heart feels like it's beating fast, and like it's "fluttering" in my chest. Sometimes it makes me want to cough, and when I do it usually stops. It always happens when I'm doing something quiet and non-stressful, like sitting around reading or chatting on the phone. Could that be what you're experiencing?
i used to get them all the time .. somtimes it even felt like my heart was skipping beats.. after a year of funny heart beats it finally stoped bothering me.. it was Anxiety and i was paying way to much attention to it because i thought there was somthing wrong with my heart, but there wasnt i got the tests done to prove it. anyways funny heart beats dont bother me anymore.. my brains found new ways to tourture me hehe :wacko:
Yep, get them too and just like you they seem to happen more when i am at rest - evening watching tv. I don't get so scared by them these days but i did and i still do sometimes when they are accompanied by a feeling of light headedness. It's not fun this anxiety thing is it
Yep - I have had them, they are very unpleasant. I've also had many tests done. I find that I am less worried by them, and they seem to happen less now, possibly as a result of worrying about them less.
if i go get them, then I try the breathing exercise.
