bumping heart

[ativan]

Hi does anyone get the slow bumping heart beat? mine can be there many times a day, I had 24hr monitor on last year and he could see when it had done it but it was all put down to my anxiety? I had another 24hr monator on and I go for results 2morrow thats a month after I had monertor on, so I just keep saying to myself if there wes anything really wrong they would have been in touch with me before now. when I get it it makes me feel strange and scars me, has any one had these feelings.
also does anyone suffer with what I can only call a funny head. made worse when shopping meeting people, most times if i see people i know i will do anything so i dont have to stand and talk to them as i feel im just going to fall over its a very nasty feeling and i dont want to live like this its really getting me down.

yes I have them too. I hate it. My heart racing and pumping hard is the one main reason for my worry which leads to my anxiety. I swear i am about to have a heart attack and somehow die from all of this. Although I know that I have been through it a hundred times and made it out just fine! I try to control these crazy thoughts but most times its too difficult. I always feel like even though Ive been through this before and lived, this will be the one time that it actually is my heart. Sigh. I'm so sick of this. I want my life back.

It sounds like palpitations to me.  I have them just about everyday.

Hi,

Yes this all sounds like anxiety to me. Nearly everyone who has anxietygets the "funny head" feeling, sort of spacey and off-balance. The strange feelings you get when your heart tumps is probably caused by your anxiety kiccking in because of your worrying about it.  

The first thing you need to do is to recognise that it's just anxiety and nothing serious or life threatening. That was the thing that helped me a lot.
