Hey Everyone—I have really bad health anxiety. Specifically related to my heart and fear of a heart attack. In the past six years I’ve had 5+ EKG’s, seen 3 cardiologists, worn a halter monitor, stress tests, an echocardiogram 5 years ago. All have come back saying no signs excepts a slightly thicker heart but not significantly. 

Over the past 3 years I’ve developed pretty bad heart palpitations. They take my breathe away, come out of nowhere, and it’s like my heart stops/flutters, ans then a huge thud and it’s like the blood rushes all over my body. I went to the cardiologist and he said they are most likely just palpitations, and after another stres test and halter monitor, he said he saw signs of palpitations, but nothing that would even warrant medication. 

I guess I’m just venting but also checking to see if this is common amongst folks with anxiety. Does anyone else have palpitations that feel this way? Is there any way to stop this. Each time it happens I feel like my breathe is knocked out of me and it throws me into a spiral of more anxiety. Thanks!
