Question: Hi! Just writing this I am scaring myself. I used to have problems with palpitations several years ago. I had tests done and they came out to be benign. I stopped caffeine and that seemed to end them. Three years later, started caffeine again about a month ago due to stress, admittedly not drinking much water. Over the last week on and off I have had the scariest, most pronounced, longest fluttering in my chest. It last so long it makes me naseous and too warm and then I get scared and my heart pounds on top of everything else and that makes them even worse! I get periodic hard pounds during the fluttering. Just makes me sick. When I get them to go away I remain anxious that they will begin again. I am on Troprol and Losartan, Pravastatin, and Nexium. I also take one low grade aspirin a day. I am a 43 year old female. I am under alot of stress over the last several years. I am getting a holter monitor tomorrow but almost do not want to go home tonight I am so freaked out. This seems common but that doesn't seem to calm me down any. I am not sure what my question it beyond just getting some information. Thank you very much...XXXX
