Felt like heart skipped a beat then lots of hotness in my chest which sent me in a tail spin. Heart rate felt like 300. Has anyone else ever had this

It sounds like a palpitation. Some can feel like skipped beats...some are a short run of tachycardia...but they are generally benign.

I believe that you had everything checked out recently, and you were in fine health?

Try to do some of the coping skills that calm you down and help you to relax and decompress.

You will be allright.:)

Keep posting,

I did have a complete blood work up a month ago. Am on my cycle so guess could be hormones

BeRock it sucks I feel like I'm dying. I feel like my heart is going to give out. Maybe it was just hormones

Is it normal to have palpitations
Posted 8/3/2013 3:26 AM (GMT 0)
I don't really know if it's normal, but I know people post about it a lot. Maybe you could search this forum for the word palpitations? You might get some info there.

I think you're going to be okay. I really, really don't think it'll turn out to be anything life-threatening. Truly. But, I don't really know what to tell you to do.

Do you take anything for breakthrough anxiety? If so, have you tried taking it and seeing if your heart feels more normal?

Shadawn, I'm sorry I wasn't on yesterday to see your post, but I can tell you that it is 100% normal to have palpitations during an anxiety or panic attack. If you are referring to "that time of the month", the answer to that is also yes, it is normal.

I have had MANY panic attacks that started out as palpitations, and then it feels like your chest and your back are burning hot, like a volcano's about to erupt from the top of your head! I have learned to keep myself calm during bouts of palpitations.

My cardiologist said that I have Sinus Tachycardia, and that it's a direct result of having issues with anxiety and panic disorders, and it's totally benign.

Don't worry yourself too much about it, or your going to cause yourself a big circle of panic. It'll settle if you just do some deep breathing. That usually works for me anyway.

Take care,
Fox
