I have this *all* the time with panic and anxiety - that's the cause of my palpitations. Even if I'm not having a full-blown panic attack, I often get the palpitations which indicate to me that I'm getting stressed. It's never been anything for me to worry about. I hope it settles for you soon, and please don't worry about it. If it doesn't settle in time, you're entitled to go get a second opinion. I think palpitations is a really common symptom of anxiety. *hugs*

I get these also.
My Dr said it was nothing to worry about.
He called it Cardiac Arrhythmia.

I don't get it as often as I used to,
I tried taking some Magnesium Taurate, for a while. It really helped.
It is supposed to be really good for the heart, and even helps with depression.
Maybe check into it on Google.

Absolutely - it's a very common symptom of anxiety/panic disorder. So, if your doctor says it's nothing to worry about, do yourself a favor and believe him, otherwise, it'll drive you nuts.

You'll find that as your disorder waxes and wanes, so will the heart skips. All last winter, my heart skipped constantly - my disorder was at a peak. Now, I'm WAY better, and my heart doesn't skip at all.

I missed your question about the celexa - yes, I took that a few years ago, and it worked wonders for me. However, my doctor took me off of it and a year or two later I had to go back on it, and it had the opposite affect on me... I got worse.

Yes , Yes ...and Yes...I have taken Celexa. You should check out my profile , and read my latest entry....Our symptoms are almost identical.

I used to have palpitations almost daily. After all sorts of tests they told me it's nothing to worry about and it's from my anxiety. Now that I have learned not to be scared of them they have gone away. My anxiety must have realized that game won't work anymore and now I have all sorts of other symptoms.

I get them as well. Especially when I lay down and start to relax or just fall asleep.
I am on Xanax, and can take 3 a day, but I only ever take them when my anxiety gets to the point where I cant stay in or get to my *happy place*.
Hope you are getting through them
*hugs*

My Dr. says that is the most typical sign of Anxiety/Panic attacks. I have them alot. They scare the crap out of me. I start thinking that I'm having a heart attack. I am starting to learn the signs and symptoms of a panic attack. (every is different) For me it starts with a negative thought =, usually about my health and boom. There goes the heart palpitations, adding fuel to the fire. I am on celexa right now. It has really been helpful for me. I'm on 40 mg. I probably should be increased but I don't see my doc untill Oct. 10th. I also take ativan wich really helps. Are you on anything to help when the anxiety gets really bad?
