In July I went to sleep one night & as I was doing so got heart palps that I assumed would be absent by morning time little did I know they would be there the next day & three months later. At first they were constant (24/7 - no exaggeration) and were very rapid. Went to the Dr where two blood tests, CBC, EKG were all performed with normal results. I have no other symptoms other than random heart palps out of nowhere. I was severely underweight but have gained a significant amount since then & though my palps have gotten gradually better they aren't gone. Because of weight loss I lost my period & didn't have it for quite a few months. I've gained weight (& then some) but still have not gotten my period back & feel that I should have by now. I have never done drugs, don't smoke & never have & only drink occasionally but since this occurrence my drinking has been reduced severely though I've discovered that drinking isn't the cause/nor does it make them worse. I used to drink a ridiculous amount of caffeine but have cut back since then & drink one cup now a day, a significant cut back. A few weeks ago I started taking Natural Calm, a magnesium supplement and idk if it works or not to be honest. Since July they have reduced gradually in their strength & frequency. Now I only experience them every morning after I eat without fail, doesn't matter what I eat or drink, they come. It gets worse if I go upstairs after eating breakfast but no other times. The only other time I can feel them is lying flat to go to sleep but they're significant less present than previously. I've been told this might be due to anxiety but I don't know what I'm stressed/anxious over...unless its just GAD, which I do know a thing or two about from studying psychology for yrs. I have no other symptoms as stated but I have suffered from frequent mouth ulcers for yrs now with no known cause. My dr. discovered I do have the herpes simplex virus 1, but there is no way to fix this ulcer issue. I think it's due to stress. I have started a new job this year as well as going to school, which I love so I can't see how that is hurting me. Now I really loathe going to school... I hate the uni I'm attending & am upset because I imagined it much differently than it is. I don't know what to do but I'm getting depressed about these palps..we're talking months now...that's no length of time anyone should have to spend suffering. Please help.
If I am stressed - I don't know what from and the only stressor I would entertain to blame is school. I absolutely hate the university im at and went from being an A average honor student in nearly immaculate standing on the deans list to having a standing coded as "academic warning." I am devastated for myself because of this and don't want to continue at the school im at but don't 100% want to leave either, so I'm stuck. I have stressors in my life but none that have ever caused me symptoms before.
