I have experienced this twice now. Both times its happend I was at work at Chuck e cheese. (Im 16) First time it happened I tried not to freak out in front of my manager because i had just been hired haha but I was panicking. Second time it happened i had bent down to pick up a ball and boom my heart went crazy and i was sure i wqs going to pass out. Anyways I thought i had some serious health issue, glad to see im not alone

I have the same, if you lie on your back your heart will probably go back to normal beat.

Hello I also have hypothyroidism and I've been taking medication for 20 years but this last five years I noticed my heartbeat was racing as if it was coming out of my chest and just this past month alone I had two attacks . I'm really scared I need to go to the doctor but my insurance is on hold right now.

Yes exactly what mine's like. As soon as I lean forward a certain way, bam.. it's like it knocks my heart out of whack.

I'm on synthroid recently went from 125 to 112. Makes me think. I really think I'm having a heart attack sometimes.

Hello, I hate to see anyone have these symptoms, but I'm happy I'm not alone. It is really reassuring to read through these stories and know that I don't need to be on an episode of 'Mystery Diagnosis', or maybe we all need to be on an episode since there doesn't seem to be a lot of answer! :)
Anyways, I went in to the ER on April 9th with a heart rate of 260. They had to stop my heart to get it to go back to a normal rhythm. Since then I have been to several doctors, wore a heart monitor for 2 weeks, had an echo-cardiogram done, went to a cardiologist, and have had numerous EKGs done.
Everything has checked out and I was giving a clean bill of health. The underlying problem when I was first admitted was my lack of potassium in my body. I am now on a high potassium diet (lots of veggies and fruit) and take 500mg of magnesium daily. I also try to drink 70 oz or more of water a day.
I get palpitations and a rapid strong heart beat at least once a week and I've just started to come to terms with it. Going to a therapist helped. Also knowing that it can't kill me even if it feels like it's going to. In the case that your heart ever gets as high as mine does you want to seek medical help ASAP. My heart has not reached that high of BPM since my trip to the ER but it does go up to the high 100s.
It's a very scary feeling and can cause a lot of anxiety. I no longer drink alcohol, caffeine, and after 5 months have just now started exercising again. I wish everyone the best of luck and just know you're not alone!

I never heard of a panic attack turning to a heart attack .. Is what you're saying based on any medical facts?

The bearing down and holding the breath worked for me also. I've also been dealing with the symptoms and have been bery concerned. Thanks for all the great comments.

Hello, I read everyones posts as well as the drs. response and have a few thoughts id like to share with you.. palpitation with exercising, anxiety: normal. Rapid heart beat,shortness of breath, and/or blackout spells when bending over or lying down? Somethings going on. My identical twin has had the same thing for a few years and i recently started getting the same. At first couldnt find an answer but recently cardiologist found mitral valve prolapse. Not a Dr. but know how frustrating it is in general to have symptoms and no answer. If your taking the time to write here its likely because youre experiencing symptoms out of the norm, no one knows your body better than you! We know what normal feels like and what alerts us as different "not normal". A lot of times things are hard to catch in action to diagnose.Trust your instincts, find a good dr. that will take time to listen. Hope this helps!
