I'm so fed up. I have been having palpitations for the past 3 years. I get all types ranging from little flutters to big thuds that take my breath away.

Every time I leave the house to go to the supermarket, my heart goes crazy. Tonight I had a really strong palpitation that made me feel a bit light headed and uncomfortable in the upper chest. It was scary. I had to walk around the shop at a snails pace to keep my heart rate low. I honestly thought I was going to drop dead.

I've seen a cardiologist a couple of years back and I had a 7 day holter on. They said I had some benign ectopic and that my anxiety was likely the cause.

I have had health anxiety for several years but find it hard to believe that I don't have a heart problem and this is all caused by my anxiety. I'm just starting CBT and have a 24hour holter booked for mid Feb time as the Dr thought it might help put my mind at ease but I can't shake this feeling I'm about to keel over.

Anyone had similar or managed to "cure" it?

Thanks x
