Hi,
Ive had issues related to tachycardia for a good ten years, but have been checked multiple times with ecg and 24 hour holter monitors and the conclusion is just that I have a slightly fast heart rate.
I get palpitations a lot, but today they felt a little worse than usual. The night before I noticed I had them when turning to sleep on my side, didn’t think much of them. Woke up feeling normal, ate and then had two coffees a few hours between (not pure coffees one of those sachet ones where its probably not loads of caffeine) and then went for a dog walk and the palpitations appeared, lasting somewhere around 45 minutes, making me feel like my chest was fluttering and tight, and like my pulse was all over my body. Probably the caffeine- but I felt kind of shaky.
Went to sit down afterwards and drink some water, this made me feel better and then i went to eat and they came back again, racing and making me feel dizzy and this time setting off my anxiety.
I feel better now but not perfect, my heart still feels slightly fast. Is it normal and not concerning for someone to get on and off palpitations sometimes? Usually when I get them they only last maybe max 20 minutes and don’t come with all the other symptoms of dizziness and tight chest etc.
