Mental health

I have had palpations all day and there not usually this bad . I do know the more you think about them they more you have them. Maybe it's because I'm really down lately. Anyone one else differ from day to day on palpations

Hello Laura,

Did you check with your doctor?

Hi, I have palpitations at different levels depending on how bad my anxiety is. I have had chronic anxiety for 6 years but only in the last year did I go to docs and get it checked where it was found to be healthy and palpitating due to my anxiety.

Your doc will probably prescribe propanolol if not already.

Best get it checked to be on the safe side but I bet the result is the same as mine if you suffer with anxiety too.

Take care

HI Laura,

I get terrible anxiety and feel like I have no place on the earth when I feel down by external events, it could be worth checking with a doc just to clear the physical side and then focus on the mental side

I agree that the best first step is to visit your doctor to ease your mind.

when rapid heart rate is due to anxiety, it cannot hurt you. 

The reason you have palpitations is that when you get anxiety, your brain thinks you are in danger, so it sends out a hormone called adrenaline. This hormone can cause palpitations and other symptoms. The purpose of the rapid heart rate is to rapidly increase blood flow and oxygen to the entire body to "fight off " the danger.

there is no actual danger but the brain is responding to the anxiety.

so the more we calm down the brain, the less we feel palpitations and other symptoms.

try audio meditations on you tube for anxiety.  Many to choose from. They really helped me. 

Do slow deep breathing. In through nose, belly rises.  Out through lips like blowing out a candle.   Long and slow.

Always go back to the breathing when the mind starts to wander , or worry etc.

some days I have none, others, it won't stop until I listen to the meditations.

Get exercise, socialize, smile and laugh!  Don't take life too seriously.

You will be fine, just visit the doctor and practice the above 😉
