Palpitations daily

Posted , 2 users are following.

Missed heart beats and feeling inner shaky daily .

I'm so frustrated by this issue as I've had heart checks etc and nothing found.

I do think there's something not right as I get these flutters in the chest so much, I get stomach issues aswell especially if I eat heavy meals, it's ruining my life as I just can't get an answer for it so don't know how to help it.

I visited gp on Thursday who said my heart sounds OK and pulse ok so nothing wrong but this is really bad for me.

    if you have had your heart checked out and everything is OK then the most likely cause for these flutters and missed herart beats and shaking is anxiety and stress.

    those are very common sensations with anxiety. I have had those on and off for years . all testing has been normal.

    anxiety tends to target the nervous system which would cause the vibrations. And the reason for the skipped beats and flutters is that with anxiety adrenaline is released which can cause those as well as palpitations. When anxiety is the cause it’s not harmful. Otherwise I wouldn’t be here.

    I have also had the stomach issues. There’s a very strong connection between the brain and the digestive system. So when you have anxiety or stress it can affect your stomach. I developed gastritis due to the anxiety and stress. But you can avoid that by eating the right foods which would be more on the alkaline side. Avoid acid foods and large heavy meals. It’s better to eat 4 to 5 small meals a day rather than three large ones. You can find a list of alkaline foods online but they are mostly vegetables, very lean meat, some fruits, etc. stay away from junk foods, soda pop , Red meats for now and others listed online.

    you may have an underlying anxiety that you’re not aware of so counseling is a good idea. Relax your mind as much as possible. Listen to some soothing meditations for anxiety on YouTube. It’s not a cure but it does help. hope this helps a little message me anytime. Take care
