Advice on dealing with Heart Palps. Help !
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hiya ladies I have had mild heart pulps and "clunky" heart feelings for about a month now. Initially my doc said it was triggered by caffeine. So I cut this out (except for tea) yet it still happens. Some days worse than others but last night I woke at 4am and just led there terrified of the clunky jumpy feelings I was getting. Sleep deprived today I am now panicking as its still going on intermittently.
I try to take a deep breath and reassure myself that it's peri related but anxiety then feeds and enhances other pains that I am paranoid I'm having a mild heart attack!
I have a busy day at work with various meetings to attend and these issues scare me so much it knocks my confidence as my mind just cannot think of anything other than these feelings. I could cry I am so scared at times.
Can any ladies out there suffering with this too offer any coping methods?
I am back at my docs on 25th April (it's the earliest appointment I could get!!) but any help in the meantime very gratefully received!!! Thank you xxx

Anxiety will make you feel worse so try to be calm. I know it's hard, believe me. I've tried coughing and deep breathing but it doesn't help, although it does relax you when you control your breathing. I hope you get it sorted soon. Good luck xx.
