Palpitations! I've got 'em. 24/F, healthy weight. I get a few a day -- sometimes small little skipped beats, sometimes heavier "thud" like beats, and sometimes a feeling of "pounding heart" that lasts a couple beats then passes.
I had a full cardiology workup a few months back: EKG, Echo, stress test, 48-hour holter -- all came back normal, and I was told I was simply sensitive to normal ectopic beats & the feeling would likely fade once I knew I was fine. They did go away for a couple months, but in the last week or so have returned with a vengeance.
I have also, to be fair, been increasingly stressed over the last month or so. The state of the world and all considered. (Not allowed back at work without a you-know-what, concerned my entire family -- who all got the you-know-what -- is months away from becoming prion-zombies, etc.)
Digestion is regular, I'm eating pretty Peaty and working to keep my blood sugar stable, and I just started Vitamin E supplementation. Been taking magnesium bisglycinate for years now.
Does anyone have suggestions for how I can rid myself of these skipped beats once and for all? It's disheartening to be enjoying evening TV time [with my blue light blockers] and suddenly feel like my chest is jumping across the room.
Thanks in advance :)
