Heart flutters causing discomfort and anxiety

Hi Cole,

I am sorry that you are being worried about this still

I also get palps, and they are disturbing...but a very common problem.

My doctor told me that most people get them...but only some feel them, and they are ususally benign.

You have had everything thoroughly checked out, so you can rest assured that what you are experiencing is just anxiety related...but if you are still concerned, you could seek a second opinion for peace of mind.

Either way, have you tried relaxation exercises and/or meditation for relief? It can make a real difference in how you feel!

Peace and calm to you today friend ;)

I have had the hard thuds...which sent me straight into my doctor's office for an EKG!!

That's when he told me that everything was fine, and about how I was just able to feel them for whatever reason.

He offered me the next step which was an Echocardiogram, but told me that I didn't need it, as he did not think that anything was structurally wrong...so I declined.

I now just do my best to ignore them. Caffeine, lack of sleep, stess, gastic issues/certain foods can all trigger them for me, so I try to avoing things that could bring them on...and when I do get them, the breathing and relaxation exercises are put to use!

I hope that you are palp free now...and continue to feel well and have a good weekend!

I am not a doctor...but from all that I have been told...both by doctors and from things that I have read...this is not something that you need to worry about dropping dead from!

Yes, you may have read about a very rare account of someone who this happened to...but there were most certainly other factors at work there as well.

The more realistic outcome is that you are experiencing the same benign palps that others here have had, and posted about, for many, many years.

I hope that you can relax and try to put it out of your mind as much as possible.

Keep posting.
