Heart palpitations

[Emils 1]

I’m brand new to the forum here, but definitely not new to anxiety. It’s awesome to find this group and know I’m not alone! I can relate to so many of the topics. I suffered for 18 years and finally got some medication this year after a panic attack at work that I couldn’t get under control and was unable to do my job.

Does anyone else get weird heart palpitations only at night when you lay down? I have tried to accept it as my normal but I would feel better if I’m not alone here. It causes me worse anxiety than I already have at night. I end up taking my pulse and think it’s too low but I never feel dizzy or pain when it happens just heart flutters.

I get palpitations too. I can feel mine during the day at times. We likely feel them more at night because everything is calming down since we are preparing for bed. Mine always scares me but I try to remind myself I've had so many EKGs and things done that my heart is OK. I do avoid like chocolate & caffeine because they make my flutters worse.

Welcome dear! 

I am also new to this forum and fell in love instantly with the interesting topics and amazing community this forum has. I hope we all stay like this. 

Whenever I used to have a anxiety attack, I always have irregular palpitations and weird heartbeat sounds. I got my ECG done and have been to so many doctors but they all said this is not related to your heart health, rather a symptom of anxiety that makes your feel that. My doctors recommended me to change my lifestyle and make healthier changes. I was prescribed some heart-related medication and also some for my anxiety. I felt a lot better. I also tried these simple tips and tricks  https://ezcareclinic.com/3-ways-to-deal-with-work-anxiety-according-to-top-18-experts/ and made it a ritual to practice these simple tips and felt a huge difference. I was energized for a longer time. 

 

I hope you try them too and consult a doctor for your palpitations. Take care 🙂

I, too, seem to get some and I feel it might be my imagination and scary.  Mamabear7-good advice to remind self had EKGs and all is ok.
