Frustrated with these palpatations

[TracyL]

Hi Everyone

I havn't posted in a while but felt I had to now as I am getting so
frustrated , I have suffered with anxiety, panic attacks and the dreaded palpatations/missed/extra heartbeats for years. I have had heaps of tests and at one stage was having a 24 hour halter monitor once a year for my peace of mind. I seem to get the missed/extra beats virtually all the time. I do get the odd reprieve then i seem to stop worrying about them (or i just accept them then don't notice them not sure which way it is).

At the moment though I find I am getting them every time i have my bath. Now my bath is the way I like to relax but now it seems that I can't even enjoy that. For some reason they start afew mins after I get in then I just get worked up and so frustrated. Don't get me wrong, I get them heaps at other times to but its making me scared to do the one thing that usually really relaxes me.

Any thoughts anyone.

Take care and love to everyone
Tracy

Hi Tracy....

I do get the odd reprieve then i seem to stop worrying about them (or i just accept them then don't notice them not sure which way it is). ....I think you have answered your own question and acceptance is the key but I think we just get sick and tired of it all sometimes.

Hi, thanks for your reply, you are so right. There is always just this niggling thought that maybe something is wrong this time and the thought of going through all of the tests again just seems so overwhelming. Still I think positive thinking is the key and I will try and do that.

Thanks again and take care
