Heart Flutters 24/7!!

Hey there and I'm sorry that you're going through anxiety. It can be really tough. The symptom you're expeiencing is a typical one with anxiety. It happens to me too along with loads of other symptoms and it's hard I know. Have you considered receiving therapy about your anxiety?

Hi Luke

Anxiety has a lot to answer for.... all the symptoms that it throws at you ... and there are many .. The list is endless.

I think once the anxiety mind can be controlled your physical symptoms will slowly eäse.

It takes a lot of hard work to retrain your mind that this is all anxiety and it can not harm you.

If you can research all the coping skills and learn some mindful meditation all these will help you get back on track.

I found that the physical symptoms stayed with me some time after i got my mind calm... And i stopped letting the symptoms freak my out.. by accepting them for what they were anxiety.

It isnt easy to change your mindset but if you work hard at it... it really improves the quality of life.

you have nothing to lose by trying these methods but a lot to gain if you can master it.

I took it as a challenge as i was determined to get my life back... And i keep it up now morning and night progressive muscle training for mind breath and body.

Mindful meditation, walking , and listening to postive affirmations morning and night.

At first i thought i wouldnt be able to fit all this stuff in because i work full time... but whére there is a will there is a way.

Good luck and i hope you get some respite from your fears and discomfort

Have you asked before regards this ?

People with anxiety can be suprised when it comes to their Heart Beat, they can feel it and sometimes hear it, especially if they are in a quiet room. There is nothing wrong with the heart.

We live in the deep countryside with no street lights and extremely little traffic and when we lie down in bed whe can feel the heart beat sometimes in our ears the same with the beat

If you are worried ask for a further tests they have a mobile heart device andd your surgery gives it to patients to wear for a few days  to check your heart function.

Hi Luke,

Anxiety is so hard and can be very drainig. I have dealt with it off and on for almost twenty years now, went a few years no panic attacks sometimes a little anxious, now it is back the last five months, sometimes it seems like everyday my heart is beating so fast and like someone is sitting on my chest and can't catch a full breath. Some days it comes and goes. There are days I feel good and then out of both where it hits, it gets to sometimes where I want to drive to the emergency room I get so scared. Trying to talk to friends and family can be hard cause they have never been through this, I do find comfort coming on here and knowing that we're not alone, some days are gonna be harder than others, its hard to think all these symptoms can all be from anxiety and panic attacks, I hope that you start feeling better.

Hello again Luke

My Depersonalization seems to be getting worse now so have comfort in knowing you aren't alone.  You HAVE to tell yourself it isn't dangerous. 

 I know it’s very hard to accept the things that are distressing. We just want them gone already. However, "by wishing them away, we enable them to stay". Accept they are there and do not add any "what if thinking" about all the possibilities for your sensations. Let them exist and don’t make such a big deal out of it. By making a big deal, you are falsely telling your brain that there is something to fear, something to dread, something to run from. As you would conquer your obsessive scary thoughts, you will conquer your Depersonalization and Derealization. Sometimes it is the obsession of your thinking that keeps you stuck.

Hi Luke. Sorry to hear you are going through it but, as others have said, it is reassuring to hear that we are not going through this alone. I have high heart beat and shory breath most days especially in the mornings. I used to think it was something physically wrong and have rushed to A&E in the past absolutely convinced I was having a heart attack. I wasn't of course. I too have n]been checked out every which way and told I have a healthy heart and nothing wrong. I have now managed to convince myself that it is all anxiety and nothing physical but it has taken time and persistance to convince myself. Now it seems more mental. A feeling of insecurity and lack of confidence. Also there is a sense of shame that i cannot 'beat' this thing though the answer seems to be not to beat it but to accept and befriend the fear. Very counter-intuitive and not easy to do but makes sense. Gill has posted some good recommends that are well worth trying. Accept it don't fight it and treat yourself with loving kindness. Wishing you wellness x
