Hi,
I could really use some help/support here. I am 45 yrs. old and have had bouts of anxiety for years. About a week ago, out of the blue, I started having 'missed' heart beats, palpitations and a pounding heartbeat pretty much 24/7 and it hasn't let up. Usually I can pinpoint my anxiety episodes to an event or at least have an idea of what triggered it but this came out of nowhere so it has me concerned. And I've never had it be so constant before. I've had episodes of palpitations and pounding but never 24/7. So I guess my question is, has anyone else experienced this? Could it be just anxiety related and I'm just unaware of the source? Or should I be concerned and consult my physician? I'm generally pretty healthy and exercise regularly. But this is really scaring me the longer it goes on. Of course the fact that I'm worrying about it is probably making it worse. So any advice or support that anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!!!
 
SounRAB like anxiety attack to me but I think I would let my doctor know about it in case he wants to do some tests to be sure.
 
See your Dr. It could be a heart condition. It maybe Atrial Fib. a very serious heart problem. Not to make you anxious, but 24/7 is to long for an anxiety attack.
