Thought I was doing better...then boom!

Things have been busy lately and I finally came out of a really low period with depersonalization. My mood has been better and I've gotten some things done. I am fighting a bug that I picked up from my 21 month old grandson over the weekend.
The weird and very aggravating thing is that yesterday morning and this morning, and a little bit yesterday afternoon, the palpitations, like heart flutters started out of nowhere. As much as I try to accept it and keep going, it put me into a mild panic attack both mornings. That in turn leaves me tired and cranky and I think about when it's going to happen again. I just wish it would go away......

Hi MSP,

I too am sorry that you aren't feeling your best...this certainly does makes managing the anxiety an extra challenge!

Also, if you are taking certain OTCs for a cold/flu...these may be the cause of your palps. Daytime formulas are especially known to do this...so ask your doc or pharmacist what would be mildest/best for you.

The good news is that you were gaining ground...and will continue to do so once you are feeling better physically. :)

Rest and recovery,

S.C.
