I thought I'd start a positive post to help out those of us who have benign heart palpitations that we can use to
share techniques or any advice you have about learning to live with palpitations.Of course, for those of us who have "triggers" that start these palpitation episodes, we can do our best to avoid these things.
But, how about people like myself who have a clean bill of health and skill feel stress/anxiety about heart palpitations and are letting them limit our lives. How can we move past this? How can we finally accept that these horrible feelings are not going to harm us?
Please share any suggestions you can!
For myself, It took a visit to the emergency room (3rd one) to finally accept that my sudden and forceful skipped and extra beats were a symptom of anxiety.
I've started to get a hold back on my life by seeing a therapist about my anxiety issues and NOT letting myself fall into fear and worry. I try to think of palpitations as something that just happens, and as the RLR sometimes states "like a muscle twitch".
So yeah.. Anyone else? What do you do to reassure yourself and not let palpitations take over your life?
