Been told a thousand times they're anxiety or gastric related and nothing to panic about. Ive had dozens of ECGs, a normal 24 hour tape in September, had an echo and stress test a few years ago, a 3 day monitor once.
Under cardiology for review as a relative needed an ICD a while back and they weren't convinced it wasn't a genetic condition.
Palpitations all but disappeared for 2-3 months, and then came back with a vengeance last week. I'm now feeling them every 20 mins or so, it's like my heart 'drops' for a few seconds - have lost count of number of times today. It's worse when I move position, stand up, laugh/feel emotional, anxious or eat - always worse after eating and drinking.
I'm on hold to 111 but previous experience is they just send me over to A&E for an ECG and then sit wait for 6-8 hours for a doctor to say, anxiety, go home. I've got an app on my phone and caught a few on there so it's definitely happening.
I'm absolutely terrified something awful is going to happen to me, I live alone and if something happened no-one would know.
