Palpitations are scary but it won’t kill you. Think about this, if your heart palpitations come and go and you have the ability to get up and live your life the next day, nothing serious is happening. Your body has a way of burning of excess adrenaline which feels uncomfortable. Learn to Let it pass, you got this (I’m going through this for 2 years straight and just now I’m starting my recovery journey.) you are ok
Thank you. This helped me. I've been dealing with palpitations, been checked by doctors, all ok but they still scare me. Hope you're doing well. All the best.
i’ve been clear of health anxiety for exactly a year, and it’s nice seeing pop ups from this channel because it shows me how far i’ve come; and i have to thank you so much for it. back to sprinting and spending hours in the gym, back to spending time sleeping and not hearing my heartbeat vibrate throughout my entire body, back to going out and enjoying and living life instead of spending it indoors worrying when i’m going to die.
How did you do it pls tell ..some of us are on the verge ..my test are all norm ..but I live with daily palpitations..and I'm impulsive ..I'm draining mentally
@@lukejwoolley stop smoking, start eating right, start exercising, stop drinking alcohol, stop surrounding yourself with people who don’t care about you, attend CBT and DBT therapy and actually PRACTICE what you learn in your sessions, listen to doctors and don’t try to get a second answer from dr google, and realize it’s all in your head. whenever i had symptoms i would always tell myself “guess i’ll just die then” and then keep doing whatever made my symptoms worse. was nerve wracking at first, until you realize you’re fine and nothings gonna happen LOL. i’m in the gym, heart starts pounding, “damn, guess i’ll just have a heart attack then” and continue exercising. hundreds of those palpitation events later, and a cardiologist visit and stress test later, I’m perfectly healthy, nothing ever happened, only to hear my doctor say i have one of the strongest healthiest hearts he’s ever heard.
It's so true when you suffer from anxiety how in tune your mind becomes with every little thing going on with your heart.. It's almost like your mind become an EKG machine it can pick up on every little heart beat that doesn't feel right..
I’m not gonna lie, after reading these posts and hearing from sooo many ppl that experience what I’ve been goin thru the last couple weeks, I can actually say I feel better. I’ve gone to Urgent care and the hospital but so far my tests hav come back normal and I was diagnosed with Anxiety disorder years back. This whole time I’ve been terrified that I’m goin to die from this but u guys prove that’s not the case, u can live normal healthy life and still hav palpitations it’s all about learning to deal with the psychological effects. So I wanna thank you ALL of u it takes bravery facing any medical issue but even more to reach back and help others while suffering yrself 💯👏🏾👏🏾
I'm literally an anxiety expert now because of these palpitations ...but the comments on this video have helped me tremendously understand that #1, I'm not alone. #2, Its beatable ( no pun intended) and most importantly #3, I am not dying...thank you for this video.❤
I have been saying since i was a teenager that my heart is on ravefests from time to time, its extremely uncomfortable and starts anxiety attacks in me, yesterday i was in a rush and when i got to where i was going my heart started jumping and beeting out of rythm, i felt the panic starting but i startet brething in a square, 4:4, and i ate a banana and tried not to focus on my heart. I stopped it from going into full panic mode and i am taking small steps. Thank you so much for your videos ❤
This video literally brought me to tears. It was so needed and necessary for me. I’ll continue to put God first and embrace every moment on this journey. Thanks for this video ❤

I feel for everyone here. Ive been dealing with palpitations here recently. I have a pretty long history of panic and stress disorders. They all stemmed from chronic insomnia which they also testified to stress. Its a crippling battle when your mind red flags everything. Mine is also seasonal. Going from fall to winter. Then I adjust. Then coming out of winter into spring. Its so bizarre. I dont know if its barometric or the planets alignment. Wish I was joking. Im going on 50 and have been hyper active since I was a kid. My body and mind cant deal with these things very easily anymore. Some history of drugs and alcohol. Ive tried may meds which only bring up other problems. Being a hypochondriac is scary in itself. Try to enjoy everyday and focus on the moment. Especially the good ones. Prayers to all that suffer from these issues. They are no joke. Thanks for the channel.
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been experiencing a fear around my heart for around 3 years. Every day I wake up with the same fears. I’ll have episodes from time to time where it starts palpitating for 5-10 minutes or so. I worry every day if today will be the day it happens again. It’s got such a hold over my life. Exercising is such a trigger for me + caffeine 😢 Your videos have been instrumental in my recovery so far. I can’t thank you enough xxx
I am 18 years old and I've been getting this heart palpitations and feeling so anxious from something I don't know, I've been thinking of going to a doctor but i think it's just anxiety kicking into me😭 i can't sleep at night because of it😭😭😭 I've been crying at night and praying to god to make it go away.
Stay strong...try to relax...speak to your family and friends about it...your one of millions of people who suffer...me included...try all the natural ways to beat this terrible thing...youve got this,,be strong xx
I had that, but mostly the lump in throat. Which I am learning to acknowledge it, give it space and move on! I am taking these teachings in, I WILL BEAT THIS! A WARRIOR! We ALL are! Thanks Dennis for your spirit! ❤
thank you! you have help me understand so much. i’ve suffered heart palpitations and adrenal rush for some time. many ER visits! its an ugly and alarming feeling. shift in perception and allowing the symptoms to pass without resisting is key! 💯
Therapy is an amazing thing. I suffer with this and it's become a very recent thing due to the healing process taking an unfortunate break. Even as I type this message I can feel it. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is exactly what you need and do not be afraid to be picky with your therapist cause sometimes one will be far better for you than another and that's okay. I was told recently that due to the fact that I had been making progress and getting better that my mind was creating a sort of counter weight and with that whenever I feel elated or happy I instantly get palpitations or a sort of reversal that brings my mind back down to where it feels comfortable with being sad or having a low mood where no real emotion is taking place. It is basically a chemical imbalance where your brain is hypersensitive to certain things and I can tell you now the only way to break through it and get over your brains imbalance is to keep pushing that capacity to be happy, no matter how bad it might make you feel if you can keep pushing take it one day at a time and surround yourself in a good environment you can sort that part of your brain out and eventually after a bit of effort you'll notice how that chemical imbalance has effected you so and that it now is stable. It will take awhile and your body and mind will fight you to the point of exhaustion, but recognise the logic behind how you are feeling, see the science of it and look past how it feels to instead question it and then continue pushing on. Cause even though it might take time each and every day you submit yourself to a correction of your minds chemicals in a scenario that is social and comfortable. I'd suggest finding a local community that you can join, cause that is another thing CBT on its own does not help without you putting what you've learned into action, if you just take the therapy and do nothing afterwards then you will continue to stay where you are and the process might just take far too long or be too taxing to the point that you stop your therapy all together.
It's gotten so bad for me that I'm scared of going to sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and empty feeling in my chest. Then the palpitations come and go throughout the day. I went to the doctor a few days ago and had some blood work and ECG done, my BP and cholesterol was high, so the doctor gave some meds, ECG was fine other than rapid heartbeat. For the past few years I've been having a hard time, just life in general, but this year in particular has been rough with the loss of a cousin and weeks later an aunt. I'm also unemployed and been running all kinds of bad scenarios on my mind so I think all of this stuff is catching up to me. I hope I can get rid of all this and videos like this one help out a lot, thank you.
Just know You are definitely not alone. I go through the same exact thing! Just try to remember every time it happens that it did end and every single time you were ok and next time won’t be any different. You will be ok. Your mind will try to tell you that this time will be different, this time it’s gonna harm you , but it won’t be. You’re ok
I've been changing my habits reading, meditating, just getting my life together and for some reason I started getting this anxiety that I had no idea where it's coming from.. and mahn.. this makes so much sense. Thank you.
I think when I'm having palpitations, I would want to move more or do more to distract it. Because if I just sit, I just think about it and will be more anxious.
Same Especially if I'm sitting in a reclined position.i had severe palpitations back inn2016/17...,now after a knee replacement they are back.dont know if it was caused by weaning off oxycodone or not but they are over 4 to 6 hrs long
You are phenomenal Dennis!!! I'm grateful for all your explainations, reassurances, and your genuine caring and love for us anxiety sufferers. It's helping me tremendously to know that I'm not alone. THANK YOU!!!
Trully helpful. I have been dealing with heart palpitations for moat of my adult life, since around my 30s, it took me a few years to figure out exactly this - it is just pure anxiety. It won't kill you. Instead of being concerned about it, I have started to say thank you, and move on. Also meditation and focused deep breaths helped a lot to take my attention out of these bodly symptoms, and start to enjoy the world at a deepest level.
I am looking for some answers from people who had to deal with this. How many years did it take you before you managed to make yourself believe that it is just anxiety.
@@akashbart2765 many years for me. But it could have taken only a few days or even hours. Depends on how you deal with it. Once you learn to accept it, it will go away.
@@escricco 2nd year for me... I know it all theoretically - but somehow the acceptance part is really difficult. Like, really, really difficult. Let's see how much longer it takes.
Very informative podcast as I had my first Heart palpitations due to anxiety and stress overthinking, mourning process after loseing my mother last year in August as being her sole primary carer . February this I was administered to emergency department this year I experienced e out of the blue heart palpitations 3x within 4months..after tests, on bloods ECG, thyroid etc they found nothing abnormal but low potassium levels.Aftr first episode in February this year, changed mindset to healthy alternatives,yoga every fortnight for breathing relaxation exercises, stopped drinking alcohol,no coffee, green tea.. feeling better but once that feeling comes back I use powerful positive affirmations, prayers, breathing techniques to fight it and it works.
I refrained from exercising and took off my Fitbit when going through an especially difficult bout of stress. I didn't like the feel of my heart rate going up or seeing the numbers on my watch. I can intellectualize the "crazy" in this however I allowed myself to do it. I have since started exercise again as it is hugely beneficial to all healing and after listening to this podcast am going to put on that Fitbit again. Thank you as always 💞🍃
@@FloresJonners I had the worst panic attack ive ever had because when i was wearing my Apple Watch It was showing my heart rate drop from 100-40 then when i stood up it it shot up to 180. Whole body was tingling. Called 911 and everything. Haven’t worn my Apple Watch since then.
@@DestinyHaldisame same same. It’s like a little demon constantly reminding you of a “problem” you have. I can’t look at the numbers anymore. Freaks me out!
Anybody here with palpitations want to be friends? I’ve been suffering for a couple months now worn a holter monitor multiple ER visits and told everything was fine. I am trying to my best but I am so tired of the mental battle every day. Literally holding back tears typing this. It is so much to deal with I feel like I don’t even have a normal life anymore.
Girl i feel your pain im literally going insane because of this. Ive been taking magnesium taurate 125mg they say that is suppose to work.... But they say check for vitamin deficiencies bc that triggers them as well... But i believe mines are from stress and anxiety...
I went into Afib ... The medical team at the hospital said I was lacking potassium and magnesium. Just wanted to also say thank you for the video. Its very helpful in my journey. This all makes such incredible common sense.
I have history of panic attacks and anxiety which exacerbated palpitations since 2020. Pretty much under control now with medication and tactics. However i still get the occasional fits of anxiety followed by the palpitations which leads to thoughts of questioning your well being. Just tonight I woke up with symptoms. How strange i thought. Went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of cold water. After breathing in and out i began to control my heart palpitations and the hydration put my body at ease. A friendly reminder to breathe properly and hydrate - could be all you need!
This podcast helped me. That very same day, my symptoms stopped! Your explanation was key. Also, knowing that exercise is beneficial to all the systems in my body! Thank you from the inner core of my heart❤
I have ME CFS and developed health anxiety during Covid to the point I had contact 4 times with people in my garden. As part of ME I have irregular heartbeats and add on anxiety - terrifying. Thanks to you I'm happy and although I still have weird heartbeats there's far fewer and I tell myself it's ME or anxiety (always waiting to rest its ugly head when I'm feeling particularly unwell) don't worry and I get myself out for a walk. You have been life-changing.
I did a heartscan and everything is OK. But i can feel my heartbeat constantly. Even when im not feeling anxious. Very weird. Im not afraid of it anymore but its really annoying. Probably cause im on high alert whole the time. Anyone else got this?
I also feel my heartbeat a lot of the time, but also can hear it thumping in my ears when I lay down. Dr. Berg on RUclips says if you can hear your heartbeat when laying down, you should increase your potassium intake, which really helps. You can eat some celery, Bananas, or greens to increase potassium intake. Hope that helps.
I'm only 15 and suffering from heart palpitations I cannot sleep and I feel tired throughout the day and I'm also dealing with chest pain a Lott I cannot even breathe properly few days ago I thought I was going to die of a heart attack and even now I'm scared I went to a doctor and he said to do some test including eco cardiography and ecg hopefully I'll get better but I feel mentally drained and I cannot concentrate on my studies and on anything anymore.
Bro, what a good video, I got to write some comments. Your video makes me think of many chronic musculoskeletal pain patients with no severe pathology. It's really a similar mechanism as the heart palpitation. The oversensitive neurosystem grabs information (even some associations and beliefs produced ny the conscious mind, and off course the information about the real body tissue), the subconcious mind then conclude there is danger in your body(eg in the knee), then produce the protective outputs (including pain sensation at the concious level, muscle tension and other). So some believes and association also plays a part. So for chronic pain patients they really need to deassociate pain and tissue damage. A model called the protectometer really helps with the chronic pain patients, I think it also can be applied to heart palpitation populations. Great explanation, Love your contents!
I have heart palpitations for 1 year now. For one year I have a difficult for me to sleep at night. And in fever, I don’t feel fever now and just feeling high heart rate of 99-112. Don’t know what is happening to me. I have gone to ER, psychiatrist and my cardiologist countless times they all just told me it’s anxiety. Now I feel What karma am I suffering from?
Two months ago lost my dog who has been with us for 8 yrs about 6 weeks ago out of the blue started having heart palpitations and like my body is pulsating but not all the time . I do have Health Anxieties and panic attack but have had them under control for a long time so this has kicked my Health anxieties and panic attacks off . Listening to this really helps calm me down but sometimes I fear the worst and make things worst I don’t think it helps that I am going through Peri Menopause
This was great, I started having palpitations at night though was my heart cardiologist said your heart is strong so it was anxiety panic attacks at night
I've struggled all my life with anxiety. I remember even sitting in junior high and feeling my pulse. I was told long ago I had a slight heart murmer, and I have always had sort of flutters off and on, sometimes a hard beat at the end, and yes, it makes me anxious. I have tried to drink decaf tea due to this, and I hate decaf tea. It tastes like nothing. So, I drink my regular tea, and yes, I get the flutters, but I am trying to reason they won't hurt me. I don't get short of breath, or dizzy, never had chest pain, it is just often when I am sitting and too focused on my body. I am 65, so I guess it's worse now due to my fears for my mortality. And I have been under a lot of stress due to money problems, and that makes everything worse.
I’ve did an echocardiogram stress test, ECG and holter monitor. They all came back okay but I’m still convinced something is happening. I used to do a bunch of stuff I’m not proud of with drugs. I’ve been clean since 2017. A couple years later these heart sensations it got to the point where I couldn’t even smoke weed anymore which used to help my anxiety. Couldn’t drink caffeine and now it’s getting to the point I can’t even have nicotine anymore...I know some of these things can make anxiety worse but damn..I’m tired of giving up the things I enjoy over this. I’m convinced there is still something wrong with me or my heart that they have missed and I’m going to die over this...man I really hope it’s anxiety. What’s worse is I have social anxiety and don’t do well in doctors appointments..
Wonderful advice. Thank you!!! I've had issues with palpitations for over 20 years. I thought I had a pretty good grasp on it but lately it's gotten a bit out of control again. I know this will help. Gotta reprogram the body and brain's response.
I have health anxiety and recently my worry has kinda stopped and now the palpitations gave me a new thing to worry about they come later in the day only feel it when im worried. EKG ER visit my primary even said its anxiety ill visit a cardiologist but after that im just letting them roll out theyll go away eventually
I get so many heart palpitations in my sleep, i wake up suddenly with a super high heart rate. Its so scary. After I got covid in January, I keep waking up with panic attacks and palpitations. I have CFS but after covid all my symptoms have become amplified. I dont know what covid did to my body, but its caused me such bad anxiety daily. Its literally hell.
Sometimes stress can cause this but most times it occurs due to a drop of blood sugar while sleeping causing an adrenaline surge. Not always but it's 1 of the causes. Your stress hormones kick in and causes that to raise your sugar. Your body is only trying to save you and keep you alive. So it's a good thing it's doing that. Glucose(sugar) & sodium (salt) taken together helps bring down the stress hormones. Maybe your eating dinner too far from sleeping or not eating protein/fat with carbs to slow down the glucose release causing a quick drop while sleeping. Have a snack before sleep with protein/fat and carb(sugar) & salt. A simple quick thing can be a spoonful of grassfed butter with raw honey and sprinkle salt. Or a real snack like nuts and cheese with a fruit. You can also drink a sip of orange juice with salt. (Redmond or celtic). Keep it by your side when you sleep and when you wake up, take a sip. Goodluck❤
my heart palpitations mostly happen after when i've been anxious about something. It feels like my breath stopped, then somthing is pressing the area between my collarbones. it happens for just a second. it makes my surroundings feel like its on slow motion.It started when i was overthinking a weird sensation while at the gym. a pinched nerve on my head. and then i started spiraling.
Thank a lot dennis for that. I am suffering from heart palpitations for many years and all the tests are good. How can i clam down more? If you will do another videos about this subject it will be great ❤❤
This information is very helpful and powerful. Thank you! And when you talk of heart palpitations, do you mean the fast, high heart rate where your heart is pounding?
I honestly feel ready to eat a bullet. I just want to be free of this, but its a vicious cycle. Heart palpitations have literally destroyed my quality of life. They put me on Buspar 3x a day, and diazapam only when full blown panic strikes. Nothing helps. 2 yrs ago i was attending kickboxing and working out regularly. Palpitations have me so freaked out i no longer exercise, and I'm miserable.
Oh dear .same boat ..I live with daily palpitations that's like my regular heart beat now ..all my tests came out normal...but I'm symptomatic...daily palpitations and intrusive thoughts .,even when relaxed sometimes I get intrusive thoughts and boom my heart is fast and pounding hard ..but I'm supposed to have a normal heart ...I've accepted it but it's hard to live with daily palpitations
I was running with my wife last week. Man, I had a feeling from my heart/chest area that sent a bolt of electricity down my whole body and out my toes. It literally stopped me for a split second on my run. It was scary. I kept running and been running ever since. Hasn't happened. My Dr said to visit my cardio. My cardio said it was nothing to worry about since I had just had a full scan and heart test 6 months ago. I'm 46, cardio dr said I had the health of a 35 yr old. So, I have no idea what it was, but it was intense.
Guys what worked for me was taking some potassium, either avocado, banana or sweet potato. But i opted for a supplement and it has helped me tremendously. Bp came down and lower heart rate.
Genuine question does palpitation means heartrate over 100 ? Look I have also anxiety disorder my bpm is 70 to 80 but my heart beats too fast.its pounds so hard but bpm is normal is tha also called palpitations?
from what I understand palpitations are sudden rise in your heart rate so for example, if you’re resting heart rate is sixty then all of a sudden it jumps to maybe double one twenty one thirty for no apparent reason
The body's alarm system can become chronic, but there are ways to begin reversing this bodily alarm and settling the mind down from its old interpretations around threat.
i have Anxiety Disorder Hypertension' so when ever i panic attack episode happens i start getting the Heart Fluttering as the aftermath from the anxiety attack' the fluttering lasts 5 seconds but comes and goes in the day
I have consulted Medicine doctor many times asking about my high heart beat and gastric they all have same suspect IBS and Panic disorder. But still Im searching to remove and accept it but i could not. Help please
How about feeling of skip beats? I tried to understand that it is nothing serious as an EP told me its benign and no need to treat. But the annoying sensation of pounding, nervousness and panic fear of dying, its hard to handle until i pop a betablocker. I always think i can take the amygdala out, turn it into a person and just square off beat it til it submits. What a useless gland.
I get these as well. I’ve noticed I get the skipped beats more since Covid started (high anxiety). It typically happens when I get a rush of anxiety very quickly (I’m guessing it’s the adrenaline).
I've had skipped beats (PVC'S) since the early 90's, easier said than done but try not to let them freak you out too much. They're almost always benign.
@@candyy03 If I'm stressed, dehydrated or drinking too much caffeine then yes they can happen daily. Sometimes I have none for weeks/months..depends what's going on.
What can you say about my anxiety while i tried to get off the medicines.. panic attacks started to show up again but but i tried to keep myself busy with other activities .. but the panic attack came back so harder so harder that i was forced to take antidepressant as an SOS. Couldn't help myself !.. What to call it..A setback? But i want to know what went wrong 😢

Me too
thank you! you have help me understand so much. i’ve suffered heart palpitations and adrenal rush for some time. many ER visits! its an ugly and alarming feeling. shift in perception and allowing the symptoms to pass without resisting is key! 💯
how are you now
i have never met you , but i love everything you have done for me
Therapy is an amazing thing. I suffer with this and it's become a very recent thing due to the healing process taking an unfortunate break. Even as I type this message I can feel it. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is exactly what you need and do not be afraid to be picky with your therapist cause sometimes one will be far better for you than another and that's okay.
I was told recently that due to the fact that I had been making progress and getting better that my mind was creating a sort of counter weight and with that whenever I feel elated or happy I instantly get palpitations or a sort of reversal that brings my mind back down to where it feels comfortable with being sad or having a low mood where no real emotion is taking place.
It is basically a chemical imbalance where your brain is hypersensitive to certain things and I can tell you now the only way to break through it and get over your brains imbalance is to keep pushing that capacity to be happy, no matter how bad it might make you feel if you can keep pushing take it one day at a time and surround yourself in a good environment you can sort that part of your brain out and eventually after a bit of effort you'll notice how that chemical imbalance has effected you so and that it now is stable.
It will take awhile and your body and mind will fight you to the point of exhaustion, but recognise the logic behind how you are feeling, see the science of it and look past how it feels to instead question it and then continue pushing on. Cause even though it might take time each and every day you submit yourself to a correction of your minds chemicals in a scenario that is social and comfortable. I'd suggest finding a local community that you can join, cause that is another thing CBT on its own does not help without you putting what you've learned into action, if you just take the therapy and do nothing afterwards then you will continue to stay where you are and the process might just take far too long or be too taxing to the point that you stop your therapy all together.
😭 this touched me very deeply, thank you sooooo much for this video and all that you do ! 💖
Very welcome and thank you for connecting.
It's gotten so bad for me that I'm scared of going to sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding and empty feeling in my chest. Then the palpitations come and go throughout the day. I went to the doctor a few days ago and had some blood work and ECG done, my BP and cholesterol was high, so the doctor gave some meds, ECG was fine other than rapid heartbeat. For the past few years I've been having a hard time, just life in general, but this year in particular has been rough with the loss of a cousin and weeks later an aunt. I'm also unemployed and been running all kinds of bad scenarios on my mind so I think all of this stuff is catching up to me. I hope I can get rid of all this and videos like this one help out a lot, thank you.
U can . We all believe in you :)
Just know You are definitely not alone. I go through the same exact thing! Just try to remember every time it happens that it did end and every single time you were ok and next time won’t be any different. You will be ok. Your mind will try to tell you that this time will be different, this time it’s gonna harm you , but it won’t be. You’re ok
You are in my prayers 🙏❤️
@@shanellefairless940I love this comment, it literally brought tears of joy to my eyes . Thank you for your comment 🙏❤
🙏 same here
I've been changing my habits reading, meditating, just getting my life together and for some reason I started getting this anxiety that I had no idea where it's coming from.. and mahn.. this makes so much sense. Thank you.
Same here… I’m tensed broo all of sudden the palpitations started
@@anishwadkar9425 it gets better.. i promise..❤️
I think when I'm having palpitations, I would want to move more or do more to distract it. Because if I just sit, I just think about it and will be more anxious.
Same here
I can relate.
Same
Especially if I'm sitting in a reclined position.i had severe palpitations back inn2016/17...,now after a knee replacement they are back.dont know if it was caused by weaning off oxycodone or not but they are over 4 to 6 hrs long
i pray to the lord Jesus Christ for the Holy Spirit and meditate in breathing slowly and listening to Gospel Audio and it calms me right down.
@@joegillesp7340
This is gold. Been recently wondering about this. Thank you very much.
Very welcome.
You are phenomenal Dennis!!! I'm grateful for all your explainations, reassurances, and your genuine caring and love for us anxiety sufferers.
It's helping me tremendously to know that I'm not alone.
THANK YOU!!!
🙏❤️
Trully helpful. I have been dealing with heart palpitations for moat of my adult life, since around my 30s, it took me a few years to figure out exactly this - it is just pure anxiety. It won't kill you. Instead of being concerned about it, I have started to say thank you, and move on. Also meditation and focused deep breaths helped a lot to take my attention out of these bodly symptoms, and start to enjoy the world at a deepest level.
Great insights thank you as well Eduardo.
I am looking for some answers from people who had to deal with this. How many years did it take you before you managed to make yourself believe that it is just anxiety.
@@akashbart2765 many years for me. But it could have taken only a few days or even hours. Depends on how you deal with it. Once you learn to accept it, it will go away.
@@escricco 2nd year for me... I know it all theoretically - but somehow the acceptance part is really difficult. Like, really, really difficult. Let's see how much longer it takes.

Very informative podcast as I had my first Heart palpitations due to anxiety and stress overthinking, mourning process after loseing my mother last year in August as being her sole primary carer . February this I was administered to emergency department this year I experienced e out of the blue heart palpitations 3x within 4months..after tests, on bloods ECG, thyroid etc they found nothing abnormal but low potassium levels.Aftr first episode in February this year, changed mindset to healthy alternatives,yoga every fortnight for breathing relaxation exercises, stopped drinking alcohol,no coffee, green tea.. feeling better but once that feeling comes back I use powerful positive affirmations, prayers, breathing techniques to fight it and it works.
I refrained from exercising and took off my Fitbit when going through an especially difficult bout of stress. I didn't like the feel of my heart rate going up or seeing the numbers on my watch. I can intellectualize the "crazy" in this however I allowed myself to do it. I have since started exercise again as it is hugely beneficial to all healing and after listening to this podcast am going to put on that Fitbit again. Thank you as always 💞🍃
Much love, thank you for sharing.
Wow, I just put my Apple Watch down couple days ago.
@@FloresJonners I had the worst panic attack ive ever had because when i was wearing my Apple Watch It was showing my heart rate drop from 100-40 then when i stood up it it shot up to 180. Whole body was tingling. Called 911 and everything. Haven’t worn my Apple Watch since then.
@@DestinyHaldisame same same. It’s like a little demon constantly reminding you of a “problem” you have. I can’t look at the numbers anymore. Freaks me out!
This video is everything I need. Thank you. Also I was the 111 person to hit like
A good omen 👍❤️
111 🙏
I have had 3 heart surgerys. Now I have horrible anxiety and suffer from panic attacks! Just can't live this way!
Anybody here with palpitations want to be friends? I’ve been suffering for a couple months now worn a holter monitor multiple ER visits and told everything was fine. I am trying to my best but I am so tired of the mental battle every day. Literally holding back tears typing this. It is so much to deal with I feel like I don’t even have a normal life anymore.
Girl i feel your pain im literally going insane because of this. Ive been taking magnesium taurate 125mg they say that is suppose to work.... But they say check for vitamin deficiencies bc that triggers them as well... But i believe mines are from stress and anxiety...
I too suffer from this and i don't have anyone to discuss about this
Me too
i had for about a year or two now, it could be stress & anxiety... idk
Yes let’s be friends
Brought me tears. It’s been 3 months and I needed this so much. Thank you 🙏
I went into Afib ... The medical team at the hospital said I was lacking potassium and magnesium. Just wanted to also say thank you for the video. Its very helpful in my journey. This all makes such incredible common sense.
I’m glad it spoke to you, keep up :)
Thank you
This was so comfortingly worded ❤
Very firm long time believer that your body believes and responds to everything you tell it....
What an amazing human you are, Sir.
Blessings.
Thank you for this inspiring video
Dennis you have inspired me. I have just decided to enrol on a CBT college course. I want to learn to help others by becoming a therapist.
Lovely, I’m glad I could inspire you. A beautiful path you are on. ❤️🙏
Thank you so much. It is just a short video but it really helps!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for making me understand this better ❤❤❤❤
I have history of panic attacks and anxiety which exacerbated palpitations since 2020. Pretty much under control now with medication and tactics. However i still get the occasional fits of anxiety followed by the palpitations which leads to thoughts of questioning your well being.
Just tonight I woke up with symptoms. How strange i thought. Went to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of cold water. After breathing in and out i began to control my heart palpitations and the hydration put my body at ease.
A friendly reminder to breathe properly and hydrate - could be all you need!
What medications are you taking 🥲
This podcast helped me. That very same day, my symptoms stopped! Your explanation was key. Also, knowing that exercise is beneficial to all the systems in my body! Thank you from the inner core of my heart❤
Thank you so so much, I really needed this video. I was able to feel how my nervous system relaxed more and more each minute I watched. 🙌
I have ME CFS and developed health anxiety during Covid to the point I had contact 4 times with people in my garden.
As part of ME I have irregular heartbeats and add on anxiety - terrifying.
Thanks to you I'm happy and although I still have weird heartbeats there's far fewer and I tell myself it's ME or anxiety (always waiting to rest its ugly head when I'm feeling particularly unwell) don't worry and I get myself out for a walk. You have been life-changing.
Glad to be a part of your healing journey.
We got this warriors! Let us just be in the moment.
Thank you sir. This is so helpful.
Thank you. This was so helpful and relieving
thanks.... 100% works this advice, I apply it every time I feel an attack coming on... the body quickly responds and calms down..
I did a heartscan and everything is OK. But i can feel my heartbeat constantly. Even when im not feeling anxious. Very weird. Im not afraid of it anymore but its really annoying. Probably cause im on high alert whole the time. Anyone else got this?
Better to feel your heart than to not feel your heart I guess.
I also feel my heartbeat a lot of the time, but also can hear it thumping in my ears when I lay down. Dr. Berg on RUclips says if you can hear your heartbeat when laying down, you should increase your potassium intake, which really helps. You can eat some celery, Bananas, or greens to increase potassium intake. Hope that helps.
Amen. Me too. Doc said I hd heart of 30 y old
Same. Then when I don’t feel it I freak out then start to feel it again.
@@Sarah_S26 hey how are you now and what helped you?
Thank you. This makes so much sense.
I’m glad it spoke to you.
Thank you, this helped me alot!
I'm only 15 and suffering from heart palpitations I cannot sleep and I feel tired throughout the day and I'm also dealing with chest pain a Lott I cannot even breathe properly few days ago I thought I was going to die of a heart attack and even now I'm scared I went to a doctor and he said to do some test including eco cardiography and ecg hopefully I'll get better but I feel mentally drained and I cannot concentrate on my studies and on anything anymore.
Thank God I found you❤
Just when you were meant to. ❤️
A very nice presentation
It's like the body is beating around the heart.
Good advice
Bro, what a good video, I got to write some comments. Your video makes me think of many chronic musculoskeletal pain patients with no severe pathology. It's really a similar mechanism as the heart palpitation. The oversensitive neurosystem grabs information (even some associations and beliefs produced ny the conscious mind, and off course the information about the real body tissue), the subconcious mind then conclude there is danger in your body(eg in the knee), then produce the protective outputs (including pain sensation at the concious level, muscle tension and other). So some believes and association also plays a part. So for chronic pain patients they really need to deassociate pain and tissue damage. A model called the protectometer really helps with the chronic pain patients, I think it also can be applied to heart palpitation populations. Great explanation, Love your contents!
Thank you for the input, identity work is also big for chronic pain patients I believe.
True.❤❤❤
Just listening to this gives me it.
Thank you🙏
I have heart palpitations for 1 year now. For one year I have a difficult for me to sleep at night.
And in fever, I don’t feel fever now and just feeling high heart rate of 99-112. Don’t know what is happening to me. I have gone to ER, psychiatrist and my cardiologist countless times they all just told me it’s anxiety. Now I feel What karma am I suffering from?
Two months ago lost my dog who has been with us for 8 yrs about 6 weeks ago out of the blue started having heart palpitations and like my body is pulsating but not all the time . I do have Health Anxieties and panic attack but have had them under control for a long time so this has kicked my Health anxieties and panic attacks off . Listening to this really helps calm me down but sometimes I fear the worst and make things worst
I don’t think it helps that I am going through Peri Menopause
Powerful Episode! thank you
So very welcome, enjoy your program.
I needed this refresher! 🙏🏾
I’m happy it spoke to you.
This was great, I started having palpitations at night though was my heart cardiologist said your heart is strong so it was anxiety panic attacks at night
Thank you for this video
My pleasure
I've struggled all my life with anxiety. I remember even sitting in junior high and feeling my pulse. I was told long ago I had a slight heart murmer, and I have always had sort of flutters off and on, sometimes a hard beat at the end, and yes, it makes me anxious. I have tried to drink decaf tea due to this, and I hate decaf tea. It tastes like nothing. So, I drink my regular tea, and yes, I get the flutters, but I am trying to reason they won't hurt me. I don't get short of breath, or dizzy, never had chest pain, it is just often when I am sitting and too focused on my body. I am 65, so I guess it's worse now due to my fears for my mortality. And I have been under a lot of stress due to money problems, and that makes everything worse.
I hope your OK Julie I get them too feels horrible
I’ve did an echocardiogram stress test, ECG and holter monitor. They all came back okay but I’m still convinced something is happening. I used to do a bunch of stuff I’m not proud of with drugs. I’ve been clean since 2017. A couple years later these heart sensations it got to the point where I couldn’t even smoke weed anymore which used to help my anxiety. Couldn’t drink caffeine and now it’s getting to the point I can’t even have nicotine anymore...I know some of these things can make anxiety worse but damn..I’m tired of giving up the things I enjoy over this. I’m convinced there is still something wrong with me or my heart that they have missed and I’m going to die over this...man I really hope it’s anxiety. What’s worse is I have social anxiety and don’t do well in doctors appointments..
Went to court and when I left my chest was pounding. Lexapro causes heart palpitations but today was so strong. Came straight to your channel
Do you mean skipped heartbeats when talking about this..... all palpitation types? They terrify me every day whether i get them or not
I get them to they are so scary
I went to cardiologist they were ectopic heart beats nothing dangerous just caused by stress
I get skipped beats, fluttering, pounding, etc. I had many tests and all came back normal but the palpitations are still super scary!
You give us hope Denis that there is hope ❤
Much love
That annoying sensation like a pulse from the mind going to the heart, triggers panic. Amygdala why were you created.
Man I felt this one, thank you 🙏
Very welcome.
Thank you so much
Wonderful advice. Thank you!!! I've had issues with palpitations for over 20 years. I thought I had a pretty good grasp on it but lately it's gotten a bit out of control again. I know this will help. Gotta reprogram the body and brain's response.
You are so welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you for this
I have health anxiety and recently my worry has kinda stopped and now the palpitations gave me a new thing to worry about they come later in the day only feel it when im worried. EKG ER visit my primary even said its anxiety ill visit a cardiologist but after that im just letting them roll out theyll go away eventually
I get so many heart palpitations in my sleep, i wake up suddenly with a super high heart rate. Its so scary. After I got covid in January, I keep waking up with panic attacks and palpitations. I have CFS but after covid all my symptoms have become amplified. I dont know what covid did to my body, but its caused me such bad anxiety daily. Its literally hell.
I’m sorry to hear, hoping this channel guides you and eases your suffering quickly.
Sometimes stress can cause this but most times it occurs due to a drop of blood sugar while sleeping causing an adrenaline surge. Not always but it's 1 of the causes. Your stress hormones kick in and causes that to raise your sugar. Your body is only trying to save you and keep you alive. So it's a good thing it's doing that. Glucose(sugar) & sodium (salt) taken together helps bring down the stress hormones. Maybe your eating dinner too far from sleeping or not eating protein/fat with carbs to slow down the glucose release causing a quick drop while sleeping. Have a snack before sleep with protein/fat and carb(sugar) & salt. A simple quick thing can be a spoonful of grassfed butter with raw honey and sprinkle salt. Or a real snack like nuts and cheese with a fruit. You can also drink a sip of orange juice with salt. (Redmond or celtic). Keep it by your side when you sleep and when you wake up, take a sip. Goodluck❤
Same here
Me too
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
This is so helpful thank you ❤
Very welcome.
my heart palpitations mostly happen after when i've been anxious about something. It feels like my breath stopped, then somthing is pressing the area between my collarbones. it happens for just a second. it makes my surroundings feel like its on slow motion.It started when i was overthinking a weird sensation while at the gym. a pinched nerve on my head. and then i started spiraling.
Thank a lot dennis for that. I am suffering from heart palpitations for many years and all the tests are good. How can i clam down more? If you will do another videos about this subject it will be great ❤❤
Do this daily: ruclips.net/video/6arfMc9Aj4k/видео.html
This information is very helpful and powerful. Thank you! And when you talk of heart palpitations, do you mean the fast, high heart rate where your heart is pounding?
I think it's like a fluttering, skipped or irregular beat
I honestly feel ready to eat a bullet. I just want to be free of this, but its a vicious cycle. Heart palpitations have literally destroyed my quality of life. They put me on Buspar 3x a day, and diazapam only when full blown panic strikes. Nothing helps. 2 yrs ago i was attending kickboxing and working out regularly. Palpitations have me so freaked out i no longer exercise, and I'm miserable.
Oh dear .same boat ..I live with daily palpitations that's like my regular heart beat now ..all my tests came out normal...but I'm symptomatic...daily palpitations and intrusive thoughts .,even when relaxed sometimes I get intrusive thoughts and boom my heart is fast and pounding hard ..but I'm supposed to have a normal heart ...I've accepted it but it's hard to live with daily palpitations
I was running with my wife last week. Man, I had a feeling from my heart/chest area that sent a bolt of electricity down my whole body and out my toes. It literally stopped me for a split second on my run. It was scary. I kept running and been running ever since. Hasn't happened. My Dr said to visit my cardio. My cardio said it was nothing to worry about since I had just had a full scan and heart test 6 months ago. I'm 46, cardio dr said I had the health of a 35 yr old. So, I have no idea what it was, but it was intense.
Thank you ❤
Guys what worked for me was taking some potassium, either avocado, banana or sweet potato. But i opted for a supplement and it has helped me tremendously. Bp came down and lower heart rate.
I’m gonna break free.
Now do the same but on breathing difficulty, the only thing thats holding me back
This video will give you the proper insight I believe: ruclips.net/video/lzRdEDUNbQA/видео.html
Genuine question does palpitation means heartrate over 100 ? Look I have also anxiety disorder my bpm is 70 to 80 but my heart beats too fast.its pounds so hard but bpm is normal is tha also called palpitations?
from what I understand palpitations are sudden rise in your heart rate so for example, if you’re resting heart rate is sixty then all of a sudden it jumps to maybe double one twenty one thirty for no apparent reason
I can sometimes feel my heart beat in my arms and legs as I feel. Especially on foot.
The body's alarm system can become chronic, but there are ways to begin reversing this bodily alarm and settling the mind down from its old interpretations around threat.
i have Anxiety Disorder Hypertension' so when ever i panic attack episode happens i start getting the Heart Fluttering as the aftermath from the anxiety attack' the fluttering lasts 5 seconds but comes and goes in the day
Terrific information...thank you! But the music should be faded-out soon after the beginning. It tends to interfere a bit.
That's me sadly 😢
Reflection over guilt. 👍❤️
Thankyou..❤🙏
So very welcome.
I love you thank you
I have consulted Medicine doctor many times asking about my high heart beat and gastric they all have same suspect IBS and Panic disorder. But still Im searching to remove and accept it but i could not. Help please
Gr8 video!
Much love
How about feeling of skip beats? I tried to understand that it is nothing serious as an EP told me its benign and no need to treat. But the annoying sensation of pounding, nervousness and panic fear of dying, its hard to handle until i pop a betablocker. I always think i can take the amygdala out, turn it into a person and just square off beat it til it submits. What a useless gland.
I get these as well. I’ve noticed I get the skipped beats more since Covid started (high anxiety). It typically happens when I get a rush of anxiety very quickly (I’m guessing it’s the adrenaline).
I've had skipped beats (PVC'S) since the early 90's, easier said than done but try not to let them freak you out too much. They're almost always benign.
@@GenX74 that's for the reassurance, did you get them everyday
@@candyy03 If I'm stressed, dehydrated or drinking too much caffeine then yes they can happen daily. Sometimes I have none for weeks/months..depends what's going on.
@@candyy03 High sodium foods and alcohol will bring them on too.
What can you say about my anxiety while i tried to get off the medicines.. panic attacks started to show up again but but i tried to keep myself busy with other activities .. but the panic attack came back so harder so harder that i was forced to take antidepressant as an SOS. Couldn't help myself !.. What to call it..A setback? But i want to know what went wrong 😢
What if you get these symptoms and your heart rate is low 45bpm
