Anxiety and Stress please help with advice
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi All, I have had a very stressful last few months and recently I have been having a noticeable heart beat, not so much like a palpitation where you can't catch your breathe but almost like heart flutters. It was a-lot worse like a pounding heart beat all day but not it is more subtle but still there.
I regularly go to the gym and exercise which doesn't seem to effect my heart beat to much but it has been very constant. When laying down it is more noticeable, I have had an ECG which came back as clean and also blood work which was all good to.
Has anyone else had this experience? I have been using CBD oil which helps a-lot and also meditation calms my body down. I am not mentally stressed but my heart seems to be, some days it is very noticeable but some days it goes away some what. I get very worried about it at points but then I convince my self it will pass. I have never had this before and really hope it goes away with time and healing.

sounds like you have a good EKG and blood work. That’s great. Rapid or pounding heartbeat can often be caused by an underlying anxiety that sometimes we aren’t even aware of ourselves. I have had that more times than I can count and I am perfectly healthy. many people get that sensation . often caused by a rush of adrenaline due to anxiety or stress.
anyThing in your life that may be causing you even a little anxiety? you mentioned you’ve had a very stressful few months. That could absolutely cause what you are feeling!
it’s great that you’re using meditation and exercise. Have you ever tried the breathing exercises for anxiety? They really help to calm down the heart rate. There are many of those exercises on YouTube.
another thing that can cause those sensations is dehydration. Most people are walking around dehydrated and don’t even know it. That can increase the heart rate. Make sure you’re drinking plenty of water.
do as much as you can to calm down your mind. If you’re finding a hard time doing that, speaking with a counselor can really help. It’s helped me tremendously and I do it remotely. Or if you have somebody, you can talk to that you know. Take care.
