I get the rapid heartbeat, I'm sure it's from stress/anxiety. I think it's a common symptom. Hope everything works out.

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I hope all is going well

It is a common symptom of stress, as well as the fatigue unfortunately. For me it is a little difficult to tell if it is a symptom of my stress or my actual heart condition. Did you see a Cardiologist?

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I hope all is going well xx I deal with regular heart palpitations and chest pain. My doctor believes it is due to anxiety/stress. I have had tests run on me too, checking out to be sure it is not a heart-issue. Even the idea of not being a 100% sure what it is stresses me out.
I have been being conscience about what things stress me out in life the most and have been trying to help calm my anxiety levels through meditation.

Eat healthy, exercise regularly. Find your stress points and find ways to help alleviate the issue. Most of all stay positive.
Now, my heart palpitations have greatly decreased along with the stress levels and anxiety in my life.
If you ever just need to vent or talk, I'm all ears ^_^

Sincerely,
Kitten

Terribly sorry about the handful of posts >.< My computer decided to have a "moment"..

Yes, i get missed beats and all sorts of strange feelings like my heart 'juddering' and a plunging like feeling. I have had a scan and heart monitors and have been told that i am fine and that it is anxiety. I can now identify situatuions that it happens which backs this up. I think because your heart is so important it can still be worrying. As you have had it checked out, you have to take comfort that you are fine and that these symptoms are from the stress you are under. I am with you on this. Good luck and hope things improve xx

My heartbeat sometime goes up alot under severe stress and anxiety. I'm sorry to hear about your husband and send hope for a swift recovery.

Having a loved one in the hospital is really rough...when my husband was hospitalized a few years ago, I passed out in front of his neurologist (for the first & hopefully last time in my life).

Hugs,

my heart feels like its gonna jump out my chest sometimes!! i also feel like i cannot move, awful anxiety...

skipped beats, extra beats and an irregular heartbeat are all signs of stress and anxiety. Chest pain can also be a sign of stress and anxiety. Since its the heart, we should never assume its nothing and always get it checked. If the doctor (in my case a cardiologist since I was CONVINCED I had heart disease) gives your heart a clean bill of health, then yes - its just the stress and very common.

Yes, I can relate. I've twice has this so bad that my primary doc has sent me to a cardiologist. Both times they ran a series of tests and there was nothing physically wrong with me.

Yes it is normal. I have a heart murmur too so I think that adds to it. But we had layoffs at work this week and I thought for sure I was having a heart attack from the stress. My heart was going so fast and my arm felt weird too. It's scary. I recommend taking "calms forte" www.calmsforte.com. It is a good herbal relaxant. Helps me a lot
