Palpitations Are Really Scaring Me.
Posted , 9 users are following.
I've had palpitations on and off for several years now. They aren't pleasant but they've been bearable. Recently though they are frightening me. They vary from flutterings to my heart feeling like it's trying to get through my ribs.
Last week, I had horrendous palpitations and they last for over five hours. I went to bed at about 10.00pm and couldn't sleep till well after 2.00am in the morning. I was very down for days and my anxiety was through the roof. I had one episode in bed last night and one this aftenoon and this type of palpitation lasts for about ten to fifteen seconds and my heart feels like it's thumping and trying to get out. My pulse feels weak/different until it passes and then for hours after I'm panicking but trying to keep calm.
It doesn't help that I finished a course of two antibiotics last Tuesday morning. Clindamycin and Ciprofloxacin are two of the worst or giving you terrible diarhea and I'm still trying to stop that so again, my anxietys high this week. I'm now terrified that it's something bad, I'm on constant health alert and down about it so when the palpitations start, I just sit and fret and/or cry.
Does anyone here get palpitations that bad? I've read about many who've had them and it reassures me but when I get them, all logic goes out of the window. Thanks for listening.

I've now got some starflower oil capsules as Karen on here, said they've been great for her. I've jotted the batch flower drops down on my list x.

Maybe you should get it checked out especially if it went on for hours.
I get the fluttering heart thing a lot which at the same time can make you feel a little breathless.
About 10 years ago (early peri) I had this awful racing thumping heart. I have had it before first time I was only 16. I have to lay down when it happens but usually maybe 10 minutes into it it sorts itself it and is fine. This time I was shopping and couldn't wait to get out of the shop and get home to lay down. It started about 2 PM and was no better at school pick up time so I got my husband to do the school run for me. Fell asleep which is so unlike me in the daytime and woke up to it still going on. I got an emergency appointment at the doctors and they put me on an ecg machine. I was diagnosed with wolf - parkinson - White syndrome.
So you never know and could really be worth getting a check.
I went to bed with it still going on that night but it had sorted itself out by the morning.
Also get yourself some good probiotics, have them ready at home and as soon as anyone in the family has to take antibiotics begin taking the pribiotics along side them.
This will prevent you having the diarrhoea and also thrush if you are female. This info thanks to my homeopath Trudi has worked every time.
My husband just on last day of penicillin today and stomach is fine.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice on the probiotics. I didn't know when I took the antibiotics that this would happen and it seems that now, anything like Activia or Actimel isn't helping. Oh yeah..and the thrush. Lol, don't know how I forgot that one. My poor lady bits didn't know whether they've been coming or going. Just like the Canesten advert, I've looked like something possessed while trying not to scratch.
I'll remember this in future when it comes to antibiotics for us here. Hubby's just started some today, I'm just going to tell him about this now. He might as well started with the probiotics now, instead of after like I did. Thank you x.

Also good quality probiotics that you get from health food shops.
Be well.
