What is wrong with me? Please someone, help. I am desperate
I really need some help.
In July I went to sleep one night & as I was doing so got heart palps that I assumed would be absent by morning time little did I know they would be there the next day & three months later. At first they were constant (24/7 - no exaggeration) and were very rapid. Went to the Dr where two blood tests, CBC, EKG were all performed with normal results. I have no other symptoms other than random heart palps out of nowhere. I was severely underweight but have gained a significant amount since then & though my palps have gotten gradually better they aren't gone. Because of weight loss I lost my period & didn't have it for quite a few months. I've gained weight (& then some) but still have not gotten my period back & feel that I should have by now. I have never done drugs, don't smoke & never have & only drink occasionally but since this occurrence my drinking has been reduced severely though I've discovered that drinking isn't the cause/nor does it make them worse. I used to drink a ridiculous amount of caffeine but have cut back since then & drink one cup now a day, a significant cut back. A few weeks ago I started taking Natural Calm, a magnesium supplement and idk if it works or not to be honest. Since July they have reduced gradually in their strength & frequency. Now I only experience them every morning after I eat without fail, doesn't matter what I eat or drink, they come. It gets worse if I go upstairs after eating breakfast but no other times. The only other time I can feel them is lying flat to go to sleep but they're significant less present than previously. I've been told this might be due to anxiety but I don't know what I'm stressed/anxious over...unless its just GAD, which I do know a thing or two about from studying psychology for yrs. I have no other symptoms as stated but I have suffered from frequent mouth ulcers for yrs now with no known cause. My dr. discovered I do have the herpes simplex virus 1, but there is no way to fix this ulcer issue. I think it's due to stress. I have started a new job this year as well as going to school, which I love so I can't see how that is hurting me. Now I really loathe going to school... I hate the uni I'm attending & am upset because I imagined it much differently than it is. I don't know what to do but I'm getting depressed about these palps..we're talking months now...that's no length of time anyone should have to spend suffering. Please help.
I've heard things from anxiety to anemia...I think I might be anemic but as far as I know my blood results were normal. Can you be anemic with normal blood results?

I went through this fairly recently, but it was caused by the hormones in my Mirena IUD. Once I had it removed, it took about four months for my hormones to regulate back out. My heart racing, odd palpitations, and fluttering went away after about 4-6 months. Spooky67 brings up a good point about your teeth! My wisdom teeth caused crazy symptoms in my body. It's always important to have regular visits to the dentist and let them know of anything going on inside you.
As for your period, it's really off (or nonexistent) due to your anxiety and weight change. I would suggest contacting your Gynocologist and seeing about checking your symptoms for PCOS.

I am going to give you my experience. I went thru the same thing for 4 months. I was desperately seeking an answer to my constant heart fluttering. It started out of the blue and got worse and worse. I also have mitral valve prolapse, so this was a concern. I will cut to the chase...I had 2 bad teeth. Cavities were not visible from the outside. Only on x ray did they show up. I got them fixed and the heart fluttering stopped within 2 days! This happened to me one other time to me a few years ago. I had a bad wisdom tooth. Got it pulled and the fluttering stopped after MANY months and MANY dr visits.
Have your teeth checked! It may sound ridiculous and the dr.s think it has no connection, but with me, it did! My dentist told me it was the cause.
