I have been dealing with palpitations for years about 6 yrs. Ive been to doctors had test done. They cant find anything wrong except major anxiety and needing to lose weight. I am currently 313 pounds. When I do to much I start to get the palpitations and then I panic and it gets worse. Losing weight is an everyday struggle for me. I do good then I get fed up and go on a binge. Its hard. I am about to be 30 years old and dont want to enter my 30's with this same issue. I know what to do and starting is easy it is finishing and keeping it going that is hard. I feel bad on a daily basis im too young for this. Yesterday I was moving furniture and my heart was racing and instead of me just ignoring it I started to panic and it got worse. So I just stopped to keep my self calm. I am parinoid on a daily thinking okay I might die today. That is no way for a 29 year old women to think. I feel depressed, anxious, angry, just so many emotions.
Have you been to a cardiologist? I am 64 and 5 yrs ago, I got that heart racing. Heart went up to 300 bpm. Found out my heart rhythum was off. I had a procedure called cardiac ablation, and everything is fine since then. We need to lose wt slowly. What works for me is eating 1 serving every 2 hrs, and I will eat whatever I am craving, that way I do not binge and the wt comes off slowly. I am craving ice cream, so that will be my next snack. Earlier I craved a doughnut, but had a 1/2 of one as they are high in calories. Please keep working on what works for you, because this is a lifestyle change and not something we start and stop. Please get your heart checked out...that doesn't sound right.....
