I’ve had these things daily for almost 4 years now. I’ve gone through period of getting hardly and during exercise, and getting some during exercise. But lately it’s gotten much worse. I was getting them all day and I went to the gym. They stayed the same during lifting and then I decided to do a little incline walking because I’ve been ignoring cardio because of these stupid things. I was doing a light incline. My heart rate was around 115 to 120 and I was literally getting them constantly. I think I counted 10 in one minute at the worst. One of them felt particularly strong like I was getting punched in the chest. That wasn’t fun. No other symptoms really besides just feeling them and obviously some anxiety. I stopped at 10 minutes because I was like this can’t be normal.
I’m thinking of messaging my new EP. I’ve had many tests in the past including a stress test and everything was fine. But now there is a clear increase with exercise and once I stop, they calm down a lot, which is definitely worrying me. If I was in a flareup exercise would generally make them stop for the most part and now it’s the opposite.
Anyone else get them a lot during exercise?
I will say I do have some digestive and anxiety issues, which I think is a part of the issue, but that doesn’t really explain the increase when exercising. It’s so hard to think that it’s not your heart.
