Extreme racing heart

BINGO!



I would. Also, I recommend you scrutinise every ingredient. As we've just proved, 'health foods' can be high in sugar...

Or, eat what you like, and just accept that your heart will bang like an old barn door in a gale.

Personally, I'd give the ol' bod some TLC for the next few months....

Yeah I’m trying the low FODMAP diet. But I’m not good yet at looking at all the ingredients. I thought: gluten free! I can eat it! I’ll have to be more detailed

It’s sugar free, gluten free granola with rice milk. It’s about as clean as you can get

What if I told you that granola and rice milk is practically junk food?

Granola I can somewhat understand. But why rice milk?

Just to give an update: I went to my GP today to ask for some medication. I stayed away from them for 8 years and even now didn't want to go on them, but I just feel like I need the extra help.
She gave me an ECG and said all looked fine.
She didn't greatly doubt that my racing heart was caused by my anxiety, but she did think 180bpm was a bit high for that. So she's putting me on this medication, if in a month I feel better but I've had more tachycardia episodes she's going to refer me to a cardiologist just to be sure it isn't SVT (which is also benign, but might be easier treatable).

What medication are you on?

[Sparkling_Fairy]

She put me on sertraline

The medical word for a heartbeat that is greater than 100 beats per minute is tachycardia (tak-ih-KAHR-dee-uh). Tachycardia can be brought on by a wide variety of heart rhythm abnormalities (arrhythmias). Not all cases of a rapid heartbeat warrant worry. The heart rate, for instance, often increases during exercise or in response to stress.
