View Full Version : Palpitations after bending over
I have had this happen around 4 times in the last few months. I would bend over then when I stand up I get a fluttery feeling with a rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath which lasts a few minutes. Usually if I have a glass of cold water it settles again. Its quite scary even though it is most likely harmless. I think I'm reasonably fit as I exercise sometimes. Does not help my anxiety :( Does anyone else get this ? Maybe I should get it checked out.
Hiya, Yeah i get this a lot, can somtimes just be when im sitting, it does feel scary but it is harmelss.
My heart beat was really fast too, i spoke to my doc about it and he was 99% sure it was anxiety, but i had a chest x-ray and ecg done and it was all fine. He has put me on beta blockers which have virtualy eliminated the fluttering and helps control the acing heart.
A lot of it is about acceping it is anxiety. Hope you feel a bit better soon xx

"Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?" said Piglet.
"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

There's not much on there about bending over, just me telling Piglet it's normal, there's loads of me waffling on about palps though [:I] Lol

Hi Piglet,
I just went to my post, found the correct page and then copied and pasted the URL (page address) from the top of the page in the address bar.
Mmm I hope that makes sense.

Also read the palipations article on the homepages. I'm sure this is included there and also Annie the Pooh had a long thread on this if I remember correctly
It's maybe in this lot but essentially its to do with stimulation of the vagus and is non harmful.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.

Thanks Piglet, I feel more reasurred thanks. I had palpitations when I was around 14 years old and at the time was not worried about them as I just coughed a lot and they went away. At that age you feel invincible and just carry on with things. Now I'm 31 and I just recently started getting them again after suffering from anxiety issues, however they feel worse for some reason and I'm armed with more knowledge and feel more vunerable being older so the worse case scenerio tends to be at the forefront of everything. The last palp I had was after I read the imformation on this site and I must congratulate the creators of this site, as while it was scary I kept calm because now I recognise them as being common and almost a natural thing to happen. I found that once I'm calm they would subside or at least be less of a threat. Thanks Meg for the links.
Its one of my scary symptoms too hun and I often need to reassured that it's ok.
Thank heavens for Meg is what I say:D
