palps

[molly36]

Hi there i have sufferded from every type of palpatation for many years ,missed ,fast ,irregular .I hate them ,but the ones i hate the most are the ones that happen when say your having a ok day with your anxiety and say your maybe busy talking to someone or shopping and out of the blue your heart goes totally wonky and the terror that you feel is awful .It totally wrecks my day as i think i was having a good day and then bam ,thats what makes me always think there is something more than anxiety ,but my doc says it is anxiety.I also hate the palps because my worse fear is that my heart isnt going to go back to normal rythm and that will be it.Does anyone else feel this .kind regards molly

Yep thats what I hate as well. The other day I was feeling on top of the world! I was really relaxing on the sofa and all of a sudden my heart did all these weird beats and lasted for alot longer then normal! Completely freaked me out! Ive just had a ecg which was fine but Shes going to give a me 24 hour ecg just to make sure! She said people who are anxious are more aware of the ectopic beats (and other beats) then someone who isn't! :):)

I get these horrible palps quiet often, they go away for a while than bang back again with an vengance. I have had them this week so bad that they seem to last all day every day. I know it's anxiety etc but no matter how many times i tell myself this it still frightens the heck out of me.

I suppose we just have to try and work through them and although it's hard it nice to know we're not alone.
Just wish they'd go away!

Hi thank you for your replies ,i sometimes feel that if my heart would beat normal all the time i would not have anxiety .But then i suppose it would be something else to worry about .Im trying to get fit but i now get to scared when my heart speeds up in case it wont go back to normal so now i end up in a full blown panic attack .I would love to feel normal for a change and not afraid .kind regards molly xx

I go through the exact same molly ! Feel good one day and then flip flop bang shudder :weep: . Puts me in such a downer when that happens ,, If its any comfort to you regarding exercise , ive done karate now for nine years , was scared out of my wits to put any strain on myself , but nine years on im still here :D.. I still get them on off on off and the odd realy big scary one , but i try my hardest not to let them get to me . I have to go for a 24 hour tape next week and then a stress test at some point . If im stressed or upset i get them worse . I love how the cardio specialists say everybody gets them,:shrug:my reply was ! if everybody was getting them like i get them you would have a nation of scared depressed anxious people on your hands . :scared15:... You are not alone with this one pal ...:bighug1:
