Hello,
I suddenly starting worrying about palps recently, I am 23 and have had them since I was about 13, I never took any notice of them before but now I keep thinking 'i've had them for 10 years, something must be wrong now'. I sometimes have pain, like a sharp shooting pain which mostly lasts for a few seconds. Sometimes I can feel these if my hand is on my chest, like a beat that jumps out of my chest for a second - is this a palpitation?
Is this just anxiety or should I be worried?
My girlfriend keeps saying that they are just sensations and since I started self harming and was diagnosed with clinical depression at 12 its just anxiety, nothing else, but I cant stop worrying about them.
They seem to just happen whenever, if im watching tv, playing a game, eating, exercising - anything at random times :(
