Heart Palpitations

[NikkiD]

I get heart palps all day long - with a normal ekg and wore a heart monitor for 30 days as well. Cardio said it is all normal believe it or not... with being much more common in women! They are scary though and mine often feel like a skipped beat! Hope you find solice in knowing that your EKG was normal!

Hmm. I just had a good episode about 15 mins ago. Felt a thud and then a couple beats and it did this three times i panicked and sat up really fast and it stopped. It freaks me out i think my heart will stop. I have had this for years. But maybe only twice a year.

I get them frequently, I’ve had 3 since the 15th, but I think I’m just too emotional lol, I need to chill out

Three times in a week? Try several times a day, every day. Been there before! Quite an uncomfortable feeling, but it was indeed anxiety. Since I got a grip on anxiety (including therapy) my palpitations have dramatically decreased in both frequency and intensity.

On a handful of occasions I've had a "quivering" feeling in my chest that lasted about a full day. It would happen every 3-5 minutes, I timed them, for 24hrs. I talked to my cardiologist about it, and he said "it's such a nuisance, isn't it?" And that was it. Haha.

I use a kardia device and it always says normal rythme even when I have symptoms so I dunno.

Palpitations are entirely normal in most cases, and they're extremely common. If they're new to you, or if they've increased in frequency / you get new symptoms alongside palpitations, it wouldn't hurt to see your doctor. Otherwise, if this has been going on for some time and it hasn't changed drastically, there should be nothing to worry about.

Just because you may get them more frequently or you experience other symptoms doesn't mean there must be something wrong though. I've had all sorts of palpitations: skipped beats, extra beats, hard thuds, a sinking feeling, racing / pounding heartbeat, etc. I've also experienced many symptoms with them at some time or another: shortness of breath, hot flashes, sudden anxiety, etc. Still, I have no underlying issue; just anxiety.

How bout pain in your left arm? Or numb patches on your left arm? Along with all the other symptoms. It scares me. That only recently started. Well, the numb forearm anyway. I have a lot of neck trouble and I'm thinking it could be a pinched nerve but when it happens, it scares me about my heart and then the other symptoms go into overdrive

Pvc’s are also called heart palps. One of the most common symptoms of anxiety. Since you had a recent check, you could assume it is anxiety related. Caffeine is also a culprit in causing palpsvc’s. When in the throes of anxiety, they can cause us extreme distress mentally which then causes us to fixate on them and worry needlessly. If you need more reassurance, your doctor is only a phone call away.
