Hi there. I really do sympathise with everything you have said here and it's not nice at all. Unfortunately, I think if you read most of the threads on here, palpitations and anxiety do seem to go hand in hand and become a vicious circle. A lot of people suffer with ectopics and palpitations but they hardly notice them. Others, like us, notice every single hic up or extra beat and we then become fine tuned to them. The trouble is, when they happen, each time is unnerving and set off anxiety thus making the heart issues worse. In my experience and I'm not the best one to ask, you need to find ways to manage the symptoms in a way that works for you. Do you have any hobbies or interests that you enjoy and relax you? Can they take you away from the stress at home for a little bit? Have you tried listening to music or books at night to try and calm your mind a bit? What about mindfulness? I worry about my health all the time and I understand that your heart is probably the worst thing for us to be stressing about but if you have had all the tests then try and take comfort in the fact that all is clear and it's not going to hurt you. Most people on here have had these for many years and they are still going strong. You're young and have so much to look forward to and hopefully you will find a new phase in your life will see these symptoms fade away. Wishing you all the best.
