I'm gonna say first: I'm not a doctor, so all I know is from my own experience. But it seems the doctors aren't all that helpful either.
Do you drink a lot of caffeine? I used to drink a lot of caffeinated sodas; and after a couple of years, I started getting heart palpitations. When I cut out the caffeine, they went away.

Doctors know Fook all about Anxiety im sorry to say.
I had these for a while but worked out why. When you suffer from Anxiety your adrenal glands are smashed down and cannot recover due to the amount of stress they are suffering. So what can you do?? Well remove caffine from your Diet (I cant stress this enough) stay away from Tea, coffee or any other drinks that have caffine. Try to avoid suger where possible, i know this is hard but just try your best. Also when you have Anxiety your body is depleted of Magnesium which is needed for your muscle to flex properly, if you getting cramps in your legs or arms, this is a sign that your need Magnesium suppliment.
It wont go overnight but in a week or two you will know the differance.
If you want to support your adrenal glands, buy some Gotu-Kola from your local herb store, it helps.
Another common side effect is chest pains, try taking some indigestion tablets for this if you have that problem.

Hi Rene,
1.Do you experience tremble of the heart? This sensation is often described as a feeling of "turning over in the chest" or a "jump in the chest". This can lead to a great deal of concern and distress and even the fear that the heart could stop entirely. This fear is usually not well founded as most people experience this symptom at one time or another and some deal with it on a daily basis despite having a normal heart. Is there a way to stop heart palpitations from occurring?
2.Palpitations are defined as an unusual awareness of the action of the heart. Generally, this is due to the presence of extra or "ectopic" heartbeats, most commonly premature contractions of the ventricles of the heart known as PVC's. Most PVC's are benign and aren't indicative of future heart problems, but they should always be checked out by a doctor if they're frequent or are associated with light headedness, chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath . PVC's are more common in some forms of heart disease and can be associated with other physical problems such as anemia or an overactive thyroid. In most cases, no cause is found and the palpitations become more of a nuisance than a health threat. What are the ways to stop heart palpitations?
3.Give Up Caffeine: Caffeine is one of the most common causes of heart palpitations. Many people discover when they cut back or eliminate caffeine from their diet, the problem goes away or, at least, becomes much less frequent. Keep in mind that caffeine is found not only in coffee, but also green, white, and black tea as well as soft drinks and chocolate. Certain prescription and over-the-counter medications also contain caffeine. Alcohol is another common cause of heart palpitations especially binge drinking.
4.Check Your Medications. There is a long list of medications that can cause heart palpitations including asthma medications, anti-depressants, blood pressure medications and many more. If you're having frequent heart palpitations and are on meds, check with your doctor to see if they may be contributing to the problem. Keep in mind that over-the-counter medications such as analgesics and allergy medication contain caffeine which can make palpitations worse.
5.Could It Be Stress? Write down any stressful circumstances that you were dealing with at the time and see if you can see a pattern. Stimulating the vagus nerve which controls the heart rate will sometimes stop palpitations. To do this, you can perform the Valsalva maneuver. This consists of holding your nose, closing your mouth, and attempting to breathe out with some force. If done correctly, you may experience immediate relief from your palpitations.
Keep in mind that although heart palpitations are usually benign, you should always have them checked out by your doctor, particularly if they occur frequently or are associated with symptoms such as shortness of breath, , or light headedness.
