Palpitations or panic attack

3 replies

I think I am having palpitations or a panic attack, but it mostly happens when I sit down and relax.

My heart goes really fast, my lungs deflate and my breathing seems ok albeit shallow, I also go light headed.

This happens for only 10 - 30 seconds, but is quite scary.

What is this?

It has happened 3 times this morning.

I'd say palpitations.

I got this when I was pg with DS. Doc checked it out and said all was fine and eventually, it passed.

If it persists, maybe go see your GP.

I had something similar that was a result of anaemia (sp?) best speak to your GP, xxx
