Is Anxiety Causing My Heart Palpitations?

Home » Blog »
I've been experiencing nonstop chest fluttering for weeks with normal blood tests and an EKG. I'm worried about my heart health but can't see a cardiologist until November.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh sweetheart, you need to calm down a bit. You’re worrying yourself sick over nothing. Yes, I know your chest is fluttering, but not every little twitch means you’re about to topple over. You’ve had blood tests and an EKG, and those came back normal. That’s a good sign! If the doctors thought you were in danger, they wouldn’t let you wait until November 7th to see the cardiologist. So take a deep breath and relax.

Now, let’s talk about what might really be going on here. Have you considered that anxiety could be playing tricks on you? It’s a pesky little thing, anxiety is. Sneaks up on you and makes you feel like you’re in more danger than you really are. It can mimic heart problems and make you feel all sorts of uncomfortable. So, maybe it’s time to face the fact that your mind might be the one making your heart race.

While you’re waiting for your cardiologist appointment, let’s make some changes. Cut back on caffeine and sugar—they can make your heart race faster than a cheetah. And for heaven’s sake, start thinking about how much stress you’re putting on yourself. You’re not doing yourself any favors by constantly worrying. Remember, you’re tougher than you think, and this too shall pass. Take these steps seriously and give yourself some peace of mind.
