whats wrong with my heart??

[shannon428]

over the past month i've been having rapid heart beats, it started getting bad i went to the er, they did chest xray,ekg,blood tests and thyroid test all normal, monitored my heart rate the whole time it kept staying in the 130s and 140s even when i left it was in the 120s felt better but still high, it makes me get this warm feeling over my head and my chest, its a daily occurance for me no one thinks anything is wrong all they can say is its anxiety i dont buy that considering i can just be sitting there and my heart starts racing but whatever i have started taking the prescribed med for anxiety and no surprise its not working, i dont know what to think  they say nothing is wrong with my heart but i just know theres gotta be, if not something else is causing my heart palps, chest pain,etc just any thoughts wpould be appreciated as im searching for an answer

Shannon, I don't know how old you are, but your symptoms could be attributed to menopause or a hormone imbalance. Hot flushes that center in the head and chest, rapid pulse, elevated blood pressure. I'm going through this right now. :)  From what I've read, and from what my doctor has told me, a drop in hormones "fools" your hypothalamus, which is your body's thermostat. Your blood vessels dilate, your heart beats faster, etc. which is the body's way of trying to cool itself down.

Anyway, get your hormones checked. It can't hurt!

hi i am taking prilosec for reflux but not getting any relief either, i've been having stomache aches,diaherria,no appetite,even hot and cold spells on my head,arms,and back, bizarre i know, i wonder if there connected somehow cause i never had these symptoms before. the anxiety medicine is deffently not working it makes you just feel so out of it, dizzy, almost zombie like. i dont have asthma, when the heart palps start i can breathe just fine, its just the heart. does she have trouble breathing? could it be related to the asthma? i just dont know what to think there has to be something wrong!!

hello.my sister reported almost the exact same thing like what you said. She's wondering why her heart is beating so fast when she was actually doing nothing.It has been going on for two weeks now. Her friends said she might be anxious or excited over something but she's not. Her BP was normal. and once she had a headache with the palpitations. She's on a new medication for asthma. Are you on any medication besides the anxiety meds? and is there any other symptoms besides the rapid heartbeat?  thank you..
