I have this same fear. My heart will beat 150-160 when in a panic attack. I have tried deep breathing but it doesn't help when you have reached that level. I'll definitely watch for this reply.

I am sitting at my computer just now when all of a sudden my heart starts beating fast, but it's not like the fast beats you get after running up the stairs. It was more like in between each normal beat was two extra beats. This lasted I would guess 5-7 sseconds. So for 5-7 seconds, my heart was bea...

I have had anxiety for 6 years now. While I have had many symptoms, my biggest fear are heart related fears. I have had racing heart. Heart skips (fels like a heart pause then hard beat) and heart flutters. Tonight I had a run of about 3-4 flutters in a row, not used to that. It lasted 3-4 seconds. ...

I know that's not super fast compared to when I've had panic attacks. I was wondering if anyone else had this symptom and how you get through it. It's to the po...

My symptoms for the most part are heart related. I get skips, fast heart beats, and just an overall awareness of my heart. I hate it. I have had tests, though none in the past year or so, and they have been fine. Six years ago when this all started I had EKG, echocardiograms, and stress test and hav...

I have been going back and forth about posting this or not. But it's on my mind, so obviously it will do me some good to get this out. Today while on the phone with a client she told me her boss was in the hospital. I have talked to this man and he is very mean, to the point that he has yelled and s...
