i also feel like when im talkn i need to stop and breath

Sounds like stress, panic, hyperventilating. Maybe sit calmly and breath slowly into your nose and out of your mouth? Did something upset you recently?

I've had them naturally and if I remember correctly, while on amitriptilyne

Yes, I get this. Can be anxiety and stress-related...but can also be due to not enough green leafy vegetables and nuts, etc. Magnesium deficiency (and heart palpitations) are very common in the general population, although most people may not be aware they are having them. I had palpitations for a long time, and supplemented once I realised magnesium's importance. You might find this info useful too, given it's neurological effects.

I agree though, you sound pretty stressed and some calming techniques might be good. The Calming Response is a good one, Cheers :)

i got it also..i feel like ive got heart beat missing..yes anxtys can do that...and stress/./.

Deep breath!
Hugs to you Crystal!

Yes, I even had a Holter monitor for 48 hour which showed I didn't have a heart problem.
I would bet that you don't have either and your feelings are drug induced, you just started Zoloft right?

I've had heart palps most of my life off and on- I get this fluttering feeling -it's bizarre- It did not nmatter for me whether I was on meds or not- It was anxiety induced and stress related for me- I think it's always important to discuss with you docs and rule out a "physical" cause for peace of mind- To me it's a when in doubt check it out type of thing-

Good luck with that-

thanks everybody...and crazzzz im goin off the zoloft as of last friday im down to 25mg from 50mg and started effexor xr sat...but they were doing them before i started effexor....idk worries me

If you are concerned that the palpitations pre-date the Zoloft, a holter monitor as craaazzz mentioned worn for 24 hours will identify exactly what's going on. I did this and had mainly atrial couplets and ectopic beats, but it is the presence of ventricular couplets that are the worrying kind. This is unlikely in a younger person but knowing for sure is very reassuring. All the best

those drugs relieve aniexty and coming off can cause aniexty so i would guess it is aniexty but if it hurts alot get it check out but it is a smytom of anienxty
