hello
i wouldn't be supprised if the hospital have diagnosed you with health anxiety , your stats are fine and if there was a problem they would have noted it and treated it, your symptoms are mentioned in general anxiety , which anxiety can bring on all these symptoms.
Hi, meljenk: I have the very same thing, and I've ended up in the emergency room of my hospital more times than I can count...Now I have a huge hiatal hernia, probably caused from stress and anxiety, too...I hate this...I'm taking baby steps to try to control this, but I've had it my entire life, which is 67 years...It will get better, but mine has never completely gone away...Please work on it, so you won't have to lead the life that I've been through...HUGs.
Unless you learn to accept that anxiety and panic causes heart palps, you're never going to move forward.
Palpitations are very rarely anything to worry about. They occur in perfectly healthy people all the time!
You're experiencing them because you have a panic disorder. Your adrenaline levels are high all the time and that's what's causing the skipped beats and flutters.
Do you think if your heart wasn't working properly your stats would still be perfect? That's not possible! It's like saying your foot can still walk despite a broken leg!
Honestly you have to get a handle on this and accept it for what it is. You're a healthy person with a panic disorder!
