Donna,
I have heart palpitation. it feels like you heart just stops for a sec.(it really is not stopping) it is an electrically catch up thingie..
Most heart palpitations are not harmful. But if I where you I would ask the doc to check it out.. have a ekg and make sure everything is working ok.. Stress can make them more often.. And funny as it seems, they happen more when you rest, but when you have one you get excited and cause them to be more often. The best thing to do when you have one it tell yourself everything is fine. That is what I do and I have not had one for a long time..

Caffeine is a no no and alcohol they cause them more frequently.
Have the doc check you out just for your own peace of mind and I bet you will fine them to disappear or at least not be so often..

Donna why does your Doc have you on toprol?

thank you for answering my question. i called the dr. and he said not to worry but i do. when you take in a deep breathe does your heart flutter. mine does and it scares me. it does it alot sometimes everynight. i will just sitting and watching tv and i feel like i have to take in a deep breathe. and when i do my heart flutters. its really scarry. does this happen to anyone else out there. please tell me its normal.

When I'm resting, I can feel my heartbeat much more.

Can you describe "flutter" better...do you mean beating hard?

last night i was laying in bed and my heart started to flutter. it feels like its poundinf but at the same time it skips over to the next beat. and it is worse when i take in a deep breathe.or if i move. i was really scared last night.
ii dont know what to do. i called the cardiogist and he tells me not to worry. but i do.it doesnt seem normal.

Hia i am sixteen years old i have that all the time when you breathe in you feel it flutter but i also have alot of chest jaw and arm pains for the last year have been in hospital two times dctors four times and have spoken to two parmedics and had an ecg !! and blood tests taht are normal! and normal blood pressure i feel constant pressure in my jaw !!! help wb xxx

jodie16 thank you for responding. i too have chest pain alot. it goes into my back. jaw pain. sometimes it gets so bad that i have to go to the er. they do the test and tell me its not mt heart. and send me home. now that i am getting the flutters it bothers me maybe they are missing something. what kind if test did they do for you and did they come up with an answer for you.

I have had the same issues as most of you. I am 26 yr old mal.

It is hard for me to sleep as well, plus I (and I expect most of you have anxiety)

I took an EKG and a stress Echo test. Both came back fine. Although I have a lot of wierd things that happen to me that freak me out.

But I think it is because all of us are so sensitive to everything. We are the big thinkers because we feel other peoples pain...

anyways, I have a feeling like bubble are rising from the center of my sternum... I also have the heart fluttering and esophogeal and eyes spasms. I dont excercise much and drink a bit of coffee and beer now and again. My heart will also stop from time to time as well. And I have to breath in really deep in my lungs to help myself believe I am going to have another beat. I am also hypermoble in the sense that my joints pop in and out a lot. Also, when the cardiologist took an ultrasound of my heart, I could hear the tiny frequencies in the scan in my left ear and felt like I was going to pass out...(humans arent supposed to hear that)

All Im saying, is I have a lot of things to think about in my mind, try some breathing and yoga techneaques to relax and not think about your day before you go to bed. CLear the mind

also, my cardiologist said my heart was elongated.

This means that possibly, my shoulders, since they are so bent out of shape from sitting all day, might be crushing my heart and making it do wierd things to survive the strangulation.

I stretch my shoulders and neck and chest in a lot of ways not in a lot of different angles before i sleep, usually this releaves some discomfort.

I Think Stretchings ! Good I alsom believe if the doctors carnt find anything wrong with you its mind over matter ! you gtta stop obssesing about it okay

hi everyone so i went to the drs. and he told me that my 24 hr, montoring said i was having palps. but it was nothing to worry about. but i do. they are getting worse. is there another test that could be done. to say whats wrong. i am really worried about it. i have my only daughters wedding coming up in january and i would like to be there for her on her special day and if i keep feeling this way. i dont know if i could do it. the more i do the worse the palp and fluttering get. please is there someone out there who can help me. tell me what to do.
