Hi, Looneylee, and welcome! I get heart palpitations and so do some others with fibro. When they first started, I was thoroughly checked out. I had an electrocardiogram, and echocardiogram, an ultrasound of my heart, had my carotid arteries checked, and also wore a Holter monitor for 24 hours. My heart was fine.

As Myself alluded to, anxiety can cause this too and many with fibro suffer with anxiety. So try not to get too stressed out over this. It easily could be nothing to worry about plus stress will make your pain worse.

Be sure to read Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum. There are links to good info about fibro and you will learn a lot there. You just might see yourself there. Too!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.

Browneyes,  Have you been checked for sleep apnea? Also have you had your hormones checked? I was having heart palpitations waking up in the middle of the night. My doctors tried to tell me it was just anxiety. I insisted something else was going on. I asked for sleep apnea test and hormone test. I have sleep apnea and I am in menopause. Make sure you insist on all these tests. Hopefully it is just the anxiety. But it is better to be safe than sorry. I am so thankful I insisted on all of the tests being done. I now no longer suffer with the palpitations in the middle of the night. Best of luck to you :-)
