it’s natural and normal for the heart rate to speed up when you breathe in and slow down when you breathe out. That’s what normally happens and it also happens to me. so don’t worry about that at all.
Medication can cause all sorts of symptoms including heart fluttering. you can discuss that with your doctor so he or she can possibly make a dosage adjustment.
remember you had your heart tested and everything is fine.
Anxiety and stress can cause all sorts of symptoms that are scary but not harmful.
something that makes anxiety symptoms worse is when we overthink things which sends a signal to the brain saying that something is wrong. The brain will then send out adrenaline that will cause symptoms. So try to relax about all of this. You are fine. Keep yourself busy and do things that relax your mind. ❤

Hi Ben, that is exactly what a healthy heart should do, increase as you breathe in decrease as you breathe out
