Palpitations

So let me get this straight. Palpitations caused by stress and anxiety are normal? Because this is what freaks me out when I'm anxious. Those darn palpitations, I tend to get them a lot when I'm anxious. I've had all kinds of tests done to check them out and they've all come back normal. EKG, echo, 24 holter, event monitor, stress test, blood work... thankfully all normal. Some of them I've had done a few times.
Palpitations due to stress and anxiety, dont worry??

Used to get them a lot everyday.  Now I take Inderal and Paxil, does the trick.  I still get them much less often.  Treat your anxiety and your palps will go away.

I too have been getting bad palpitations for the past month and a half. I am only 22 and it is really freaking me out. I have had blood work, and ekg, and a holter. I'm going to the cardiologist next week for an echo. My doctor says its nothing to worry about and it is probably attributed to anxiety/stress. I don't really feel like I am that stressed out but everyday since I started having the palpitations I have moments of extreme anxiety. Atleast that's what I think it is, I can't describe how I feel but it's just a really weird overwhelming feeling. I have been thinking about trying some medication just to see if it can help my palpitations go away, because I almost feel like the palpitations are causing my anxiety, which would in turn make the palpitations keep returning.

I have been having palpitations for over a year now started with indogestion, basically any time i would do increased physical activity i would always get groupings of them, also if i had a beer I would always get one if not more and sometimes after eating. The Cardioligst said they were nothing to worry about, but they were still bugging the heck out of me so i took a multi vitamin didnt help but about a two weeks ago i bought a box of emergen-C packets from the store and started taking them about five times a day 3 days into it i didnt get palpitations with eating anymore or with the occasional beer or and instead of groupings of them whwnever i exert myself i was getting one at most or half of one if that makes sense. Then by day 5 or 6 i could cut the grass and do my pushups 25 and situps 30 without getting them then i ran out of packets 2 days later, the palpitations had returned SoI went back to the store bought some more emergen-C and am back at it and once again the palpitations are gone. So Something in these packets I must be missing or doesnt stay in my body like it used to. The multi vitamin didnt help but it is in a different form I dont know if that has anything to do with it here is a list of what is in the packets thou VitC,THiamin,Ribuflavin,Niacin,VitB6,folic acid,Vitb12, Pantothenic acid,Calcium,Phosphorus,Magnesium,Zinc,Maganese Chromium,sodium,potassium,alphalipicacid,quercetin, So I hope this helps someone please let me know if it helps anybody else I would like to find out exactly which stuff im low on so i could just take a high dose of it sorry for how long this is Joe T 24yrs old in IN
