Hi. I suffer with anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I was having heart palpitations without panic so I had all tests I could to check my heart which is apparently good. Then the other morning out of 'somewhere' I had tachycardia. It was scary & I had no idea what was happening to me. A visit to the Dr & was told your hearts fine it has to be your anxiety. Had a blood test to check thyroid which cane back ok & he prescribed beta blockers to slow my heart rate. That was it...had the tabs that left me with a spaced out feeling & have been too scared to go back to work incase I have another 'episide'. I don't know what to do now. I don't want to stay on these tablets everyday..anyone else been through this or have any suggestions? I've also been seeing a counselor for months & have been practising ctb.

I am also struggling with this but doing well I think.
Mine just feels like I am aware of my heart beat not, that I am skipping or missing beats, just a thrumming going through me, I don't feel like I am anxious and my pulse seems to be at a normal rate 😕 still bothers me though.
