Hi everyone. Ive been having heart palpitations for a little over two weeks now, They happen everyday. I went to the urgent care clinic and they did an EKG. It came up fine. He said anxiety. I went to my doctor who did an EKG and listened to my heart. (although it didnt do it when he listened) Everything good again. Went back last week cause it was still doing it. He said its anxiety and did blood test which came back normal. What the heck. Ive never had then everyday. Has anyone had this problem? He says they only worry if you have them every minute. Not for ten-12 times a day. Please someone help me to belive im ok.

Mita, you are ok. You've gotten checked out multiple times and all tests come back ok, right! Remember to use your breathing exercise. Stay in the moment and just accept that your heart is beating fine. The stress you're causing yourself is more than likely causing you to worsen. Try and relax, breathe, stay in the moment and use self talk to calm yourself. You're not alone. You're OK!

hi mita, I am as well been having a lot of palpitations almost every day specially at nigth, also went several times to the hospital, and cardiologist and everything is always OK, they ssay anxiety, and relaxation helps me a lot, and also meds, when i spent too many days with them, it is scary and feels horrible, but it is anxiety, try to think of what is bodering you, maybe your life or relations?? maybe you are a person who does not express your emotions and that makes your body react in that way.

I had heart palpitations for pretty much my whole pregnancy. That is actually how I found out I was pregnant! It ended up being anxiety and I had to biofeed back therapy. It is a horrible feeling. Good news it did go away with the therapy.

Heart palpitations are VERY average with anxiety and even for those that aren't anxious. You're just very focused on it right now so you're very aware. No big deal if you are; let those thoughts sit right next to you and don't give them too much attention. It's a scary feeling so be gentle with yourself and remind yourself that you've been checked out an it's JUST anxiety.

Hi there. Regarding the heart palpitations. How old are you? Reason asked is cuz I am 49, goind through a problem with anxiety but am also perimenopausal. If you read the symptoms of perimenopause heart palpitations are big one. Odd times, for no reason it feels like your heart will jump right out of your chest and then you freak out about and the anxiety compounds it. Once if figured out the perimenopause thing I relaxed a bit. Hope this helps.
