How do I know that I won’t die from them? I’m having them constant I’m scared and it feels like my heart is stopping then restarting with a flutter and I just had one where my heart rate went rapid for a few seconds and stopped I’m so scared
I’m having constant heart palpitations… how do I know that I’m not going to drop dead, have a heart attack, cardiac arrest or that my palpitations won’t stop and then I go into SVT?
I’m having constant heart palpitations … I’m sick of it they feel like my heart is stopping then restarting with a flutter. I just had one that felt like my heart rate went rapid and then fluttered about in my chest and stopped. It was so frightening I stopped everything I was doing (I was playing a video game in bed eating some cheesecake) how can I convince myself that I’m not going to drop dead? Because they feel so intense and scary
As the above states. My boyfriend is a chronic liar he lies about the smallest things all the way to the most absolute insane things. He will go out his way to make sure I don’t find out but I always do … he isn’t so clever. He always does apologise and says “I will change” but he never does. Most recently he lied about his money issues I found out he spent his wage on booze, going to the pub on his own, gambling and just snacks from the shop ect. We have a holiday to Japan booked which we are paying off he knew he needs to save money for this and to pay. He even went into his savings and blew it all…. He lied to me about all of this. Yet all I get is a repeated “I’m sorry I will change” he also recently lied to a discord server that he was going to be a father and that was we engaged ? We are not and I’m not pregnant? He was fully endorsed in this lie saying how I’ve gone to tell my family and friends and that his family was excited?? I think that’s literally insane?

I am diagnosed with POTS and hypermobility. I had two episodes within two weeks that did not fit my typical pots pattern. Both times I was sat up in bed and eating. I felt a big wave of impending doom rush over my body and BOOM my heart was pounding out my chest. This didn’t calm down with me laying completely flat which is not typical for my POTS. The second time was resolved by ice packs on my face. I have really bad health anxiety… and since these episodes I haven’t been eating out of fear it will happen again. I’ve lost 8kg, I’m extremely depressed and anxious and I was wondering if someone could help or explain WPW? **My cardiologist notes are below** I’ve had a few ecg tests that show short pr interval? Two echocardiograms that came back normal and multiple 24 heart monitors that only show sinus tachycardia. I don’t have regular contact with my cardiologist so I’m afraid and scared left in the dark. What if I have this? I’m scared I also fly to Japan next year and worrying about if I have an episode mid flight like wtf do I do? I’m even scared to be alone … my partner is with me most of the times he can be and if it’s not my partner I’m sat following my mother around for safety lol…. My anxiety is 1000/10 and I think I’m spiralling out of control.
ECG on 27/05/2026 showed sinus rhythm, short PR interval, and mild slurring of the QRS upstroke, suggestive of a possible delta wave (?WW pattern).
The recent episodes of non-postural tachycardia may represent a different tachyarrhythmia and warrant further investigation.
I’ve not had them in years but I’ve been dealing with a lot of health things such as a new POTs diagnoses and hypermobility diagnoses… these things have made it quite difficult for me to even be a normal person lol. One big thing I’m struggling with is eating … this sets off rapid heart rate in addition it sets off my panic attacks / anxiety … well since then I’ve been going downhill avoiding eating and now I’ve built up this anxiety over eating. I’m scared of eating I hate the thought of eating…. I tried to eat today and it set off a really scary panic attack.. my throat felt like it was closing up, I felt not real like I was out of it and every time I swallowed it was a weird strange feeling. It lasted about an hour I still feel shook up. I don’t feel safe to be left alone my anxiety is on 100…
Any advice what I can do? I’m on propronal and even then I feel as though it doesn’t fully help it stops the fast heart rate and shaking but that’s it my thoughts are torturing me every day I think I’m going to die (I have bad health anxiety) I really can’t take much more of the worrying the extreme anxiety I feel utterly hopeless I’m only 26 and I feel trapped by my own thoughts / feelings.
I’m due to get one today at 11.30 am (it’s currently 1.43 am) I’m in the uk. I am so terrified I’m going to have a reaction to the dye due to my Pots and hyper mobility…I’m really sensitive to bodily sensations and I’m so so worried it’s going to set an episode of super fast heat rate or I’m going to have an allergic reaction because I’ve never had it before. Please help lol I feel like cancelling
Never had one before. I am absolutely terrified I don’t know what to expect other than I can have sedation… however I am also scared of that lmao. I have major health anxiety and just anxiety in general. I also feel like I have a really tiny throat and hole (sorry crazy sentence) but what if I just choke? My biggest fear is choking I hate that feeling and I’m just sat here spiralling away… I’m in the Uk so if anyone has any experience through the NHS please tell me what to expect
Please help I’m convinced I’m dying because of Hayfever i can feel like a lump in my throat I’m convincing myself it’s closing please I feel like panicking so bad wtf is going on :(. I hate this SO MUCH
Yep so as above currently thinking I’m dying I feel so incredibly dizzy and scared …. Please can someone talk to me to distract me or help?
I’m currently under Investigations for POTS. The past 3 weeks I’ve had 2 weird episodes. Both episodes happened while sat up in my bed eating and I hadn’t taken a propronal. First one was sudden fast heart rate before it came on I had an overwhelming feeling of something was wrong like impending doom and then BOOM rapid heart beat pounding out my chest I was so terrified. Lasted about 25 to 30 mins afterwards I was cold shaking and needed to go poop.. second episode happened the same way I had a feeling oh boy here it comes! And then BOOM rapid heart rate this time I was a little less scared and had my partner grab ice packs for my face it only lasted a few mitnues but oh boy did my heart rate felt so fast! Tbh it’s the fastest I’ve ever felt it… because of these episodes I’ve stopped eating foods.. I’m terrified that this is SVT or WPW or that next time my heart won’t slow down. I feel depressed because of this.
I’m already under cardiology and they are pretty certain I have POTS however fast forward the past 3 weeks I’ve had two weird episodes. Both have been when I’ve sat up in bed while eating. Both prior to me taking my propronal. It felt like sudden fast heart rate out of nowhere literally pounding out my chest. First episode lasted about 25 to 30 mins and afterwards I was cold shaking and needed to poop.. second one lasted a few minutes because I put ice packs on my face. However both times felt like uncontrollable fast heart rate. The fastest I’ve ever felt personally. I’m worried this was SVT? Or WPW. I haven’t been eating because of the fears.
Hi so I’m currently under investigations for POTS it was confirmed over the phone my tilt table test Indicated POTS… however fast forward I had an episode in which I was sat up in bed and I had just finished eating. My heart just started to race so fast out of nowhere. I was dizzy, scared and felt a sense of impending doom. I went to A&E but by the time I did all the testing I calmed down. My ecg results state “She had bloods including electrolyes which were normal. She had an ECG which was sinus with a short PR interval. We note some mild slurring of the upstroke of the QRS potentially representing a Delta wave” I have extreme health anxiety.. this has catapulted me into extreme anxiety. Also prior to knowing this I had another episode the exact same way. I’m petrified it’s wolff Parkinson white syndrome.
Where can I get good compression tights? The ones I got from Amazon are so thin and feel like they don’t do anything at all! Can I use a waist trainer to compress my stomach when I’m eating?
Today I’ve had my second episode. Once again it came on while I was sat up in bed eating (I had a bowl of cereal) and I hadn’t taken my propronal yet. All of sudden I felt weird like anxious and could tell something wasn’t right and then all of a sudden my heart was racing! I didn’t check this time because I know it would set off my anxiety. But it was pounding so fast like faster than how I normally would be if I was standing up. I instantly lied down and put some ice packs on my checks. This worked and helped me go back to a normal heart rate. I’m confused because it feels so different to anything I had prior to my first episode which was only a few weeks ago. Honestly it felt like my heart was going a million miles per hour. And I was just sat up in bed? What even is this? Because last time even laying down didn’t help it only went away 25/30 minutes after my propronal kicked in and I was focusing on breath work?
I can’t tell if this was SVT, POTS related adrenaline dump or something else. But it’s honestly terrifying.
In the last 3 months everything has just been way worse. My symptoms are more intense and constant. I can’t even walk to the shop. I feel like my boyfriend will eventually leave me due to having to care for me, carry me around and constantly do things for me because I can’t. I feel so depressed I can’t even do basic things… even showering is hard. I just have constant anxiety/ health anxiety… I’m 26 I just want a normal life like everyone around me. I feel like giving up.
What do you take and how does it help? I’ve got a appointment coming up to discuss different meds
I had a bad episode where after eating my heart rate went 130+… (stopped checking after 130 but I felt it go higher) and it’s put me off eating completely. I’m really struggling to eat enough food in a day. Im currently only eating 1 egg and a few pieces of meat per day for the last few days. Im starving and im on edge. But every time I attempt to eat I’m so anxious and I’m focused on my heart.
