On/ off fast heart beats and palpitations for at least 6 months.

Thanks for reply, my docs havent found anything out of the ordinary as of yet the highest its been that im aware of is 160, that 1 felt like it came totally out of the blue i was fine before it began. Other times ive noticed it starts with a feeling of like a nervous tummy/ chest if that makes sense. Ive seen at least 4/5 different docs and had 1 chest xray, multiple ecgs and blood tests all fine at the time and im currently waiting for echo test results, had a 24hr monitor also fime just a few ectopic beats and im waiting for a 7 day monitor results. I think im constantly waiting for my heart to speed up or to flutter and it creates an uncomfortable awareness of every beat almost. I do walk nearly everyday and have an active job, i agree with eating correctly i think that can have a massive effect on everything. I find it does start to take over your life without you realising im at the point now where i think theres something thats been missed by all the docs.

Yes I truely do believe your issue is the over worrying And fear. That was my problem for awhile and I just had to learn to trust the doctors. Fear and worry just feeds anxiety and it will just literally get worse and worse. Trust me I had the worst of the worst symptoms possibly from anxiety.. It kept me isolated and I couldn't function.. I had every symptom of a heart attack / stroke / brain failure / liver failure / cancer.. Anxiety will do anything. If you can't get relief by lifestyle changes like I said I would get on medication (diet/exercise/sleep/Supplements like magnesium/b complex / multivitamin / cutting out stimulants like caffein or alchohol/drugs / sugar / going out having fun/ cutting out what stresses you/ adding therapy / meditation)

If these don't work then I would go on medication.. Just see a good psychiatrist that deals with anxiety and express your concerns and they will help you. I had to use medication in 2011 because it was bad.. It worked for me and all my symptoms like you mentioned left and never came back untill my lifestyle fell off again. You have to find your root cause .. Some people it's coffee causing anxiety..

Some it's drugs

Some it's just over worrying and fear

Some it's just a job

Some it's all of that ^

But seriously for the Palpitations and chest pain / racing heart. Magnesium is great! It stops my palpitations almost within 20 minutes. Just get a high quality magnesium supplement. Aim for 400MG daily it's hard to get that through diet. You will notice a dramatic difference. I've read in some studies... People go up to 1000-1200mg untill they feel better.. It just depends how depleted you are. Ask your doctors about it and see what your magnesium levels are at and is it safe. But the daily minimum magnesium requirement won't be a problem.

Also rescue remedy is great for severe stress and panic situations. Google it

and make sure to cut out all processed foods / fast foods / sugar / caffein / high sodium meals as these all can make racing heart and palpitations worse. Just try to eat smaller meals with lots of veggies and lean meat and moderate carbs. Chew very slow as it is a stress relief and it helps with digestion and food processing.. When the body is stressed the digestive system doesn't work at tip top shape so the heart beats harder and that can make you anxious.

Yeh i do believe it is an awareness of my own heartbeat that causes the anxiety. I really cant think of a root cause other than being really tired and busy last summer, which is when i 1st noticed anything. Maybe its just continued from that feeling and gradually got worse i have started walking more and watching what i eat just hope it can be controlled without any medication. Thanks for the advise.
