Hi guys
Im having heart syptoms since like october. First it started with palpitations. My heartbeat is around 80-90 but it used to be so hard, i could see my heartbeat on my stomach, feel it on my neck, head, butt, fingers.. couldnt sleep. I one day went to a hospital after my parents called an ambulance for me. My heartbeat was fast and my hand was tingly. I got 4 ekgs in 2 months, holter monitor (of course felt like everything was ok when I had it so it came back normal) and thats all. I got betablockers, it got better in like a month and then I have felt stabbing and pain in between my upper back, my rib cage and chest. I also feel this sinking feeling, like my heart stops for a moment, like a second, i start to suffocate, i have to caugh and then its good... it happens all the time for 2 days now. And always when i breathe in i get a stab in my back and like left side rib cage. Im also out of breath all the time. Walk up the stairs and im out of breath.. i have had heart problems when I was 11, all of the sudden i started having insane tachycardia for like an hour for no reason.. been to cardiologist, he made blood work, ekg and ultrasound, nothing. Now i only had ekgs and the holter. TIm very afraid im going to die.

Breath in and out through your nose. It takes time to get used to it but by doing so you correct the oxygen and carbon ratio on your body. You can literally hear and feel the heart change to a more normal beat. Buteyko breathing is a good method to use. Mouth breathing triggers panic cause it's how we breath during panic

When the heart begins to beat quickly and people experience "palpitations", they sometimes feel a heart attack is occurring. In the first place, the heart can beat quickly and continuously for a long period of time without causing any damage. Although heart palpitations seem to occur in the left side of the chest, there are many DIFFERENCES between panic attack and a real heart attack. During a real heart attack, the primary symptom is a crushing sensation inside the chest and a pain that is continuous. During a panic attack, the attention is focused on the quick and rapid beating of the heart itself. ("I can hear my heart beating even in my ears!"
People having panic attacks are NOT experiencing heart problems. A real heart attacks produces crushing internal pain that doubles people up and drops them to the floor. They DO NOT hear their heart beating nor do they care. The intense, crushing pain is the only thing they can pay attention to.
