you might also think about what you've been eatting or drinking lately that might be triggering them too. Anxity does bring them on but also things like sugar, caffine, etc.

I feel ya! I get a weird feeling like palpations in my chest...
Then i feel it and it freaks me out.. May sound weird but I am so terrified of something being wrong with my heart! UGH! I hate it!
But just wanted to let you know that I know how you feel.
I just try the 4 7 8 breathing (in nose for 4 sec, hold for 7sec and out through the mouth slowly for 8 sec).. I know everyone talks about the breathing... and it rarely helps me but it helps alittle.

Caffine will really aggervate Anxiety I have to limit my intake of it to prevent my Anxiety from getting really bad.

I just recently started getting heart palpation's in November of this past year. It is scary, and I actually had to go the the ER. My blood pressure was pretty high though, and it went up out of nowhere. The dr's said it was stress. I don't have high blood pressure normally, so that was a random occurrence.
I notice that if something really bothers me that I will now get heart palps if I get really upset.

i'm on a very strict diet given to me by my nutritionist, eating only healthy good mood foods, which also means no caffeine, no chocolate, no alcohol, & very little sugar. i have recently heard that people who suffer from anxiety & stress should eat foods that have magnesium because the anxiety & stress deplete our magnesium levels & cause us to get even more anxious, supposively taking in lots of magnesium can stop or atleast minimize the palps. i'm going to talk with my doctor & nutritionist about this & find out exactly what foods & how much of it i should eat. i'll try anything at this point! anxiety is just a phase we're going through, if we keep pressing forward, we will conquer it!

HI

This post hit home. Sometimes in bed at night I can not go to sleep because I am feeling my heart. I too have talked to drs and know it is part of me, but it can make me anxious..so I try real hard to get it off my mind and play games in my head to fall asleep.

Many years ago when I was a teen a band Styx had a song "Too much time on my hands" I think about that song a lot...If I am busy..I don't even know have a heart! lol...

I love the idea of mood foods..send me some info if you have time. I admire your taking so many avenues to get help...your a winner!!!
