Heart palps caused anxiety

To start off in the beginning of year I was going to the gym everyday 3 min cardio on treadmill and after hitting the weights. I was also not eating very well with 2 eggs with a slice of bread every morning and something small in the afternoon and a protein shake. Adds up to about less than 1000 calories a day for a month.

Ok now one day at the gym I finish my cardio and I was in weights listening to music.i was resting between reps when my heart started to beat fast Akita no where and then it felt like it flip flopped taking my breath away with it. I walked around and it passed 

But later that night when laying down I found it hard to breath like my heart was beating differently.this caused my first ever panic attack I started shaking and chest pains trouble breathing.went to emergency had all test done chest x ray ekg blood work and they said I'm ok and send me home.also one night I woke up gasping for air

For 5 months I was in and out of emergency room 😅 For the same thing and they can't find any thing.

Eventually they put a zio patch monitor on me and found nothing.  Also they found out I had a fatty liver small hernia .and h pylori which I treated and no longer have h pylori. 

There was a time where I had to sleep sitting up because laying down caused me not to breath right.

I weighed 347 in the beginning of year and then now I weigh 265 due to anxiety and stomach issues. I haven't felt normal ever since this happens I need help please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

 I can also feel my heart beating normal but I can feel it move my whole body strong heart beat that scares me. 

I just don't know what to do know someone help I'm in darkness

    I've a feeling as if heart skips a beat. Sometimes while walking or even when I'm sitting. But now that I'm being more observant I'm realising it's more Bec of anxiety and stress (my father had a heart attack a few months ago). Also I've had abdominal pain, I too have fatty liver. Though my 2D echo reports say heart is fine. And every day is a different feeling. I've been having breathing problems which I assume is Bec of blocked nose. I would suggest stop thinking about it. And you've done more tests than I have! And my cardio says heart is fine. Anxiety, stress plays havoc in our bodies so does gastric problems.

    Hi you seem to have developed health anxiety regarding your heart.This is very common your symptoms are all down to ànxiety.You should go to your doctor and see if you can get referred to a therapist.Also practice relaxation techniques which you will find on YouTube meditation and breathing techniques.practice them several times a day.Keep doing them even if you think it isn't working.Try to continue exercising however eat a well balanced diet and keep well hydrated.Do not fixate on the sensations and do not isolate yourself.Lastly do not Google your symptoms.

      I agree to what you say, I've been googling a lot about every small problem that I might seem to have . And you have rightly said it's anxiety about health which is not good.

      As l said try to reduce the amount of time you Google it is difficult.l would advise if you must Google educate yourself by learning about health anxiety and how to help yourself.Also ànxiety symptoms what causes them etc.Trust me symptoms from ànxiety are very varied and more you understand them the better.

    Googling is the worst thing you can do if you have anxiety, you will have more anxiety worrying that you have googled and will fixate on the worst case senario, never that it could be something small or easily treatable.  We find it so hard to believe what medical professionals tell us but believe everything we google. Anxiety is so frustrating. Good idea to get some opinions here from people who know how this feels and people who may be able to offer advice as they have lived with anxiety for a long time and manage to find ways to cope . It's great when you realise people understand completely , don't judge, and can hopefully reassure you.??
