It comes & goes but came back yesterday when heard that my lover was coming to a mutual friends party in my place this saturday night (I own a hotel) with his new girlfriend.. I didn't know it was over how cruel is he!! I have to be there but in total panic! Hense heart do summersalts!!

I have learned through my struggle with anxiety, that I don't have to do anything that will make me miserable. Of course, avoiding social situations all together is not the answer, but placing myself in the middle of stress on purpose just isn't an option. Good luck if it is one of those "must do" occasions, but take a vacation if not!!?

My heart has been fluttering but only when i do something suddenly like move my head or when i am swolowing saliva. I also have a sore throat and feeling really, really tired. I am sure it is just some sort of head cold but you never know. Also, i am a 17 year old female.

I used to have panics attacks.. They won't happen over a period of a month and then disappear for a year or so. I ended up in the emergency room a few times and sometimes even passed out for freaking out. Anyways nothing medical helped, they only thing that helped was doing research on why I left this way at times. Once you find out what triggers it and understand that you really cannot die from a panic attack the fear went away. It has been over two year without an episode.

Will a flu shot be the cause for the fluttering as well?

Im a 28 year old male and have been having "heart flutters" for years now. They still scare the s### out of me sometimes. Just had a little episode about 20 minutes ago while I was making eggs. After I ate, I stupidly went out to smoke a cigarette. I was already on edge and knew a cig wouldnt help. After I smoked I threw up my food. Cigarettes dont help! I once had an episode for 6 hours. Thought I was going to die. It happened in my sleep and I kept waking up and it was still fluttering every time. I finally got up in full panic mode and called the doctor. They told me to go to the E.R. While I was on the phone with them, I started gagging. When I stopped gagging, my heart was back in normal rhythm. WTF. Apparently coughing or gagging can do that. I went to the doctor months later and he gave me an EKG and it came back sinus arrythmia. I told him everything and he said it was nothing to worry about. Easier said than done. I have a bit of a worrying problem and im sure thats why I have bad anxiety and panic attacks. I still havent had an ECG done but im just going to take the couple doctors ive been too words for it. Cant wait til I get over this BS anxiety. Life is too short to be living like this. Any suggestions?

you need to quit smoking. It doesn't help with your anxiety (it's a stimulant and only makes you more alert and on edge). you'll be amazed at what a good diet and exercise routine will cure. nobody wants to do this and take this route...but I guarantee it'll solve most of anybody's physical problems.

Hi I am 25 years old and I have absolutly no idea why I have had an anxiety disorder, I have never worried my whole life growing up, as a matter of fact I have always been such a happy, energetic and athletic person and when I was 21 I got strep throat and never went to the doctor and laid around for a few months thinking of bad things constantly and 3 years later I'm still down the same road. I started having the heart palpitations/flutters like 2 years ago very lightly but I've become such a hypocondriac that I freak out by feeling the tiniest thing like being to hot or cold or even when I get tired sometimes I think something is wrong, but I have noticed that since last year when my first love was killed in a car accident that I can't stop thinking about death all the time and my heart flutters got worse, it feels like it takes my breath away for 1. Second and it scares me to death. I just want to know what's going on and I went to the doctor like 7 months ago over this and he said my heart looks good and normal, is this anxiety really causing this horrible problam?
