Heart Palpitations

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone else get heart palpitations? Noticed them alot recently. Feels like a muscle spasm almost or like my heart is pounding out of my chest.

Let us know what the doc says! I totally agree about docs brushing things off. Whenever i go to the doc and ask if a certain symptom is fibro or not, they seem to not give a straight answer. Very frustrating!

I get them too occasionally, sometimes my heart beats so hard that it really does feel like it will burst right out of my chest. I got an EKG to make sure and everything came back good, so I'm not sure what the cause it.

I have these palpitations for 25 years. They say it's tachycardia. I take a low dose of blood pressure medication and it helps. But in your case if you have low blood pressure they might have to suggest something else. Stress and anxiety makes my tachycardia worst.

Whenever it is chest pain, rule out heart issues by seeing a cardiologist first. I was experiencing those and found out that it was the stress hormones dumping their nastiness in me. Do whatever you can to reduce stress - it makes fibro sooooo much worse.
