Palpitations before you realise you're anxious? Is this possible?

Is this just a coincidence? had heart palpitations and skipped beats when we went on a 2-day trip to London on Monday on and off and then part of Tuesday but fine in evening when home. Totally fine for the rest of the week. Had holter monitor fitted 24 hours Wed into Thursday. Fine Friday then tonight getting romantic dinner ready for me and partner I get the same happen. Is it anxiety /anxious / excitement induced but subconsciously?

absolutely. Even if you’re not consciously thinking about something that may be exciting , your brain is aware. The brain then sends out adrenaline which causes the palpitations and skipped beats. as long as your test results are normal, you can blame anxiety for your symptoms. Symptoms caused by anxiety are not harmful. Learning proper breathing for anxiety is the key to bringing down the heart rate. Anything that relaxes your mind will be helpful. There are a great meditations on YouTube for breathing and anxiety. take care

Thank you so much for replying and for the reassurance. I just hope you’re right. if it is just anxiety based it will stop me worrying so much about my health. Then I know what I’m dealing with.
