Hi Everyone,

I’m really struggling with this. I get really bad heart palpitations and it turns a good day into a bad day and I become fixated on it waiting for the next one and wondering if that one will be the one to send me to the grave. I’ll just be sitting there and out of nowhere I’ll feel like my heart clinches, a release and then a pins and needles feeling everywhere. I’ve been to a cardiologist about 3 yrs ago and the did a stress test and echo cardiogram. I’ve also had ekg’s done since then. Nothings ever come back weird. I have another cardiologist appointment this week that I’m freaking out about which I’m sure will send my pulse racing and my blood pressure up in the office and it’s just so overwhelming. I hate this. I feel like I can’t ever have a full day of happiness. It’s destroying me in some ways. 

I know I should go to the cardiologist and I will. But can anxiety also be contributing to this sensation? It’s been going on for about two years now and I haven’t croaked so I’m hoping it’s nothing. It just feels like I’m about to dies each time it happens. Anyone else out there that has ever experienced this?
