View Full Version : Palpatations
Hi all
Does anyone else get bad palpatations rather than the full blown panic attacks? I've been put onto 40 mg's of propranalol for general anxiety and am waiting for counselling. I had to take a tablet last night as they just wouldn't go away and were coming every 10 mins or so. I always seem to get them when i'm resting though rather than out shopping, whilst driving, work etc. It's getting to the point where i'm scared to rest!!
xx
Same here hun always while I'm resting aren't they scary? X

dont get me started!!! lol. ive had them constantly for 6 weeks. drs say they can last ages, im fine, cant stop freaking out though, has kinda taken over, prob why they are not going!! x
Hi
Thanks for the replies. Yeah they are scary. Usually when i'm going through a bad anxious phase i get these then i have a full blown panic attack and then they bog off again but this time they just don't seem to want to give in. I hate taking tablets for it cos i feel like i'm losing the battle with it but last night was unbearable.
In a way i'm glad i seem to get them at home rather than when i'm out but my life is hectic and exhausting enough without feeling like i cant rest cos the palps are gonna get me!! lol xx
I get them as well as getting panic attacks, and they happen much more often.
All the best.
Aw hun it rubbish welcome to mine and katies missed beat club:yahoo: oh I have to laugh or I'd cry x
Missed beat? Is that what they are? lol i'm clueless, sorry! Thanks Sam. x
Yeah or an extra beat I think :mad: bloody horrid things xx
i agree with you all on here, i get them a lot, have been on Propanalol 40mg about 2 motnhs now, tried to come off them but then had another one badly so put myself back onto them again. I often wonder when it will end and i can go back to being a normal happy person again.
Does the propanalol help the palps? I was given these but darent take them x
Hey I'm glad I've found this site! I've had all these things you talk about for years! I've only been treated for depression - probably cause I've never mentioned all these other things. Honestly it is really helping me reading the forums.
I get the palps worse at night - and yes it makes me sort of scared to sleep - cause I also wake up as tho' I've stopped breathing.
Hi I get bad palps any bloody time of day,they really suck

lol sammi!! the skippy club!!!! woohoo!! yes thets laugh, not cry. well i think im stuck in a vicious circle really, like just woken up, bang.....her we go again CONSTANTLY!!!! its just the worst think ever. I cant remember whats its like NOT to have continous palps! i make myself worse by checking my pulse!! i must stop. Propranolol....sammi i got described those too, but i agree with the last post, i feel that if i take them i will be hooked, and feels like youve given in really. I have taken a couple but....naaa doesnt really do nowt for me!!!!! :) xxx
yes it does help the palpitations, and its apparantly totally harmless to take
If you want to take something more natuaral try St Johns Wort, but i just stick to Propanalol as its been scientificaly approved
I'm scared to take it incase it slows my heart down to much :scared15:
The propranalol took the palps off for me within about 30 mins, i still got one or two that night but nothing like i was getting. I will take them again as and when i 'really' need them. I think they're fine to take hun and really wouldn't think any doc would prescribe them to anyone who wasn't suited to them for whatever reason xx
I think when mine get bad again ill take one see what happens :D
I would hun. The way i'm looking at it is the doc says i can have up to 3 x 40mg a day so if i need one every other day i'm doing pretty good :D lol gotta look for the positives!! xx
Yeah that's true. I told my doc I didn't want a big dose so he said take 2 x 10mg a day x
