In the archives of this forum there are a host of discussions of heart palps. Most anxiety sufferers who complain of having them aren't, so if you haven't had them confirmed by a heart specialist you might be thinking you're having heart palps without actually having them. But clearly you are an anxiety sufferer, so the question would be, what are you doing to treat it? Are you in therapy for it? If it is a result of abuse -- and who knows, people don't react the same to such things -- have you worked on that with a psychologist? This is just looking at it as, if the underlying cause of your distress is anxiety, that's the problem that needs work. If you're in fact having heart irregularities, you need to know that, as that's another problem added on.
I am reading a book on this now. My son has a lot of social anxiety. I do too sometimes but have really gotten a handle on that as I've aged. The chapter I'm on now discusses physical signs of anxiety. Heart palpitations and racing heart beat are some of the physical signs. It feels terrible, doesn't it? Important to go ahead and work on that. As time goes on, this can have a negative impact on your cardiovascular health. Agree that you should make sure that it is related to anxiety and not already a cardiovascular issue. So, a physical where you discuss it would be good to do. And then you can talk about the anxiety at that point too. Therapy can be soul soothing and sometimes medication is necessary to completely treat anxiety. And lifestyle things can help too like regular exercise (if cleared by your doctor), meditation, prayer, breathing exercises, good solid sleep and nutrition. I have this app called 'calm' and my son has headspace. They are pretty good at guiding meditation. And my watch has breath on it which will stop me and tell me to breath for a minute with it, it does the work for me. lol But it helps.
