palpitations are extremely common with anxiety. They are not harmful. There are people who get them every single day. Your EKG was normal so you can relax.
One of the reasons you keep getting symptoms after one goes away is because you are over thinking it. The more you think about it and worry the more you will get symptoms. That’s because you are telling your brain that something is wrong so the body sends out adrenaline for the fight or flight response. Adrenaline increases the heart rate. eventually it wears off.
Try to take charge and do something else besides think about it. Get on line and listen to some meditations for breathing and anxiety. The breathing exercises for anxiety actually lower the heart rate.
don’t give into the fear because it’s only a useless emotion. It works a lot better for me when I get tough with myself and do things to actually benefit myself. if it doesn’t benefit you, don’t do it.
you are fine. relax, breathe, take a nice warm bath, go for a walk, anything but overthinking! ❤
