Hi everyone. I havent been on here for almost a year...i was really struggling with palps and panic attacks. Saw a great chap in harley street who put me on citalopram which really helped alot - still got the palps but they didnt really bother me and never had an "attack".
Now i am off the meds - the palps have been scaring me more and more everyday. Brief history palps came out of nowhere when i was 24 and took over my life... saw a cardiologist and had two holters scans etc etc and all is ok - APPARENTLY lol - even had palps during my heart scan! RESULT.
Since all of this i have put on at least two stone as excercise was another stimulant and was incredibly uncomfortable with the palps etc so i steered clear of the gym.
Now im determined to get fit - i have joined a gym where they feed you and train you. Almost like bootcamp i guess! Im incredibly excited as it will be like someone holding my hand to help me through my fear of it all - but i am still petrified of starting. I start tomorrow......
My palps are normally worse after AND during excercise which is just SO off putting and annoying...its like im being tickled from inside my body...and it just sends your mind rushing ideas around that this just isnt right....
Just wondering if there is anyone else who has gone down the excercie route to fix our problem and if it has worked or not!
Stay safe NMP!
