how long have you been on beta blocker ? in some cases, you may have to go back to your doctor and get the medication adjusted - or change it to maybe a ccb type b.p med to stop the palps . I have had palps since 1986, they are not fun and are very bothersome! they always hit when you least expect them ! drives me up a wall sometimes !! I have found its best to stay calm - and try not to think of the palps happenig,as the mind can set them off - as well I found by taking Natural Calm powder
drink a few times a day - helps to slow the palps down and clams me right down ! works wonders most times ! you can buy this at all healthfood stores or online or even on ebay
its always best to see your doctor first and let him /her adjust the meds to counter act the palps -or change the meds to another type of med .
I feel for you, and know how you feel , with fear and being uspet with the palps happening to you. why me !!! but the more I feared and got mad at the palps ,the worse they got (so it seemed ) its best to keep very calm and relaxed - and think of nothing or something other than the darn palps ! it sometimes works..
try the Natural Calm see if it helps you .. you can drink it 2 or 4 times a day as its a food and totaly Natural .. so no fears of side effects ! cant hurt ?
good luck and take care ..

You ask a good question : I wrote already 4 times and delted what I wrote back ! lol
so I try again - Yep I get palps still - I get them when drinking too much soda pop
getting mad at someone ! when I get excited ! if I eat too much (sometimes )
as I eat like abird :0) --- you know I can even think of palpations and make them happen ! just did it.. strange is'nt it ?
I think you just need your meds adjusted - hows the b.p readings ? as I found alot of times my b.p is super high - reads around 167-100 and they start - im like a old model A
motor ! I get clusters of 2s and 4s .. sometimes 6s..
once the b.p dropps down to normal readings thats around 134- 87 for me !
being my age waight and size .. the palps slow or stop ! when b.p dropps down .
I found being calm helps ! and not thinking of the darn palps helps! and also putting my mind on something diffrent - than whats going on with me..
please remember everyone is diffrent !
If your having problems with the palps too much - its best to try and go to a local E.R.
or accute care center ..and let them take a look at you ! most times there is a cardiologist on hand , and he or she can take a close look at you , and give you something to stop the palps ! they can also adjust the meds your on ! as per your problems !
meny ways to go !
and it all depends on how you feel - and what you really want !
that was a hard question to ansure - hope again that I helped you out here ..
and didnt confuse you !
take care and well wishes to you
