I Am Plagued By These Horrible Episodes
has anybody found a way to ease heart palpitations? I have them a lot and they are ruling my life ,if anyone can give me a tip or remedy I would be most grateful. is there anybody out there that suffers with palpitations like I do? I would really like to hear from you as i have suffered episodes of these for many years. They come and go as if by magic.I have been to see a specialist many years ago and after various tests they said that there was nothing that could be done to stop them, however unpleasant they were. Since then I have had an ECG and everything seemed to be alright, BUT, still I am plagued by these horrible episodes, the worst of which occurs during the night. Please if anyone is out there who suffers like me , please do respond, Its good to know that you are not on your own. Thank You.

Hi Jose,
I suffered from extreme palpatations leading to panic attacks for 3 years went to doctors ,therapy tried medicine once (didnt like it) and then I cam across the linden method and it really helped where all else didnt. So try it out and loads of people suffer from similar symptoms so you are not alone .Be honest with friends and family and treat it in a matter of fact way.
best

I understand how you feel. I have that problem too. Palpitation really does suck. I get them almost everyday, i hate it so much. I have it for one year now. I guess its not a problem. But i really want to find a way to make it go away ya know. You are not alone. I eat healthy n exercise. I dont know why i get those. I think its because of i get nervous easily. Im not sure. I went to doc n took ekg test and they said im perfectly fine. I was like why is this happening!? lol so frustrating. I learned to ignore it

Palpitations during the night are frequently stress induced. Avoid all stimulants, which you are probably already doing. If you are stressed, see someone about it. Anxiety reactions commonly wake people up from sleep. Performing the valsalva maneuver (bearing down like you are trying to poop) sometimes will stop an episode.
