Constant Heart Palpitations???

[Chrissy364]

So, I think I've posted at least three other questions on heart palpitations in just the short time that I've been here. But asking questions and having people answer is really soothing, so I'm going to ask away again. Well I've had terrible anxiety for the past two months now. I have many symptoms, really bad chest pain/tightness, trouble breathing, dizziness, etc. But one of my absolute worst symptoms, are my heart palpitations. I get them pretty much 24/7. I've had a chest x-ray, EKG, and blood work done. Everything came back normal (well, the blood work results aren't back from the lab yet but lets say they are normal too). Anyway, I have heart palpitations everyday, 24/7. There are the absolute worst when I wake up in the morning; I barely roll over to see what time it is and my heart races. It makes me crazy!!! I just want to lie in bed cause I'm scared to move yet laying down I can feel them so much more so I end up getting up. I pretty much always have my shirt up with my hand placed over my heart, right under my left breast so I can see how fast my hearts beating. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it. Well, its always beating too fast. I can be watching TV and get up to get a snack and BOOM, there they go racing just from getting up off the couch. I used to exercise so much more, but now that my heart races from barely walking a couple steps, I'm scared to exercise. I always feel like my heart is going to explode or stop beating from working too hard. Even when I'm completely relaxed I get palpitations. I'm even scared to go out shopping now cause I feel like it will work my heart too much. I'm only 17 and I've been told I'm too young for heart problems, but I'm still being tested just to make sure. Is it common with anxiety sufferers to have heart palpitations all day/week long? And does anyone else constantly feel their heart beating fast from the slightest of movement? And do any of you get them while relaxing, like just watching TV? And lastly, if my palpitations aren't a heart or thyroid problem, just something caused by anxiety, are they dangerous? Cause they certainly feel like they are! If anyone could please give me some advice or share their heart palpitation experiences with me, it would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!

I have been having these palpations (about 70 - 100 per day) and was just doing research online. How long did it take before you noticed a difference with the Fish Oil. I would like to try that first before going through the expense of seeing a doctore. I don't have insurance. Your input is greatly appreciated

Hey I've been experiencing the same problems. However mine is accompanied with sever shortness of breath, I have to take a sharp intake of breath every five minutes or so, if I don't it feels like I will pass out or something bad will happen to me. I've had this for five months and it really is scary, because nobody understands. The shortness of breath is un-noticeable almost like a hiccup but it severely effects my life. I'm scared it won't go away. And the racing heart beat 2/7 7 days a week doesn't help. Does anybody else have this problem???

I have exactly the same thing that you are describing. I have had palpitations all day long for about a month and also had the test you got and everything came out normal... Actually I was having really fast and strong palpitations as I ran into your post... As I was reading and realized that I wasn't the only one with this problem and that it's just anxiety, my palpitations suddenly stopped! :D... Now I feel less worried and will try to ignore them if they come again... Trust me it's just anxiety<3:)
