I have been having fluutering and palps for about 4 months,I am 33 yrs old no kids ,never married,they come on all the time nothing specific I do or tink causes them ,My life is not stressful at all. Have wonderful job and home life,
I been to doctor had x-rays,ekg,ecg.blood work, thyroid tests.diabetes testing,everything under the sun and all comes back normal.I do have costocondritis and Fibrolmyalgia but have had thise for years and never had heart of fluttering feelings before.He prescribed me Ativant for anxiety took those for 2 months and helped not a bit.
The palps are now feeling like my center chest and upper abs are spazing.I ffeel sick to my stomache and literally takes my breat away.
There is no pain from the palps,just uncomfy and now scares me.
I had ,had my gall bladder out 5 yrs ago and I had heard this could be symptom of spincter spasms?
I was obese 3 yrs ago but since then have lost 100 lbs so the doc does not attribute it to weight.he is as baffled as I am?
They are horrible feeling and make me cry cause I want them gone so bad.
They are happening pretty much 22 hours out of the day ,I cannot sleep.

I found this board and hope and pray I can find comfort here,along with the rest of you.

HI Michelle, Welcome to the board. This is the best board you wil find on the web

Have you read about the palpatations and magesium? Everyone raves about mag/calcium and it stopping palps. Even though you are young, you still could be starting perimenopause symptoms. Have you thought about going to your gyno and get the hormones checked? I would just to rule that out

I am going to a MD now through my HMO that is the grim reaper. He won't even look at hormones and give me a referral. His latest is that I have clogged arteries and heart disease.( 43, non smoker, vegan, 110# and cholesteral of 153)

Spend time doing research in here and then decide what you think is best. Don't think you are crazy...because if you are so are the rest of us in here.

Enjoy the board and welcome

Jenny

It could also be esophogus spasms. I've had them and it just takes your breath away. It was horrible. I had them bad before I knew that I had reflux. Now that it's treated, they have gone away completely. Welcome to the board!

Thank you all so much fo rthe warm welcome.Means alot.
I wouldn't doubt premedapause cause my aunts and my mom started in their 30's and late 30's.
Hate to think about it cause I would like to have kids one day,I know premed doesn't nessisarily mean no kids,but argh scarey thought,

I went to movies to night and man My spasms where horrible! I coughed so bad has to leave thought I was choking .Or was oging to throw up.

I am trying meagnisum now I had heard of it for symptoms.thus far hasn't done anything but I will give it time.

I had thought of esophgeal spasms also,do you have to have heart burn or reflux as in burning sinsation for that?

Hey Shell,
Welcome aboard! Always nice to see a new Canadian!

I am dealing with palps and terror/panic attacks now too, new for me Paranoia and the return after a month of my hot flashes are getting to me too.
I'm thinking it is just the next phase, but you must be going CRAZY trying to get a handle on it.

The women here have been through a lot and have GREAT info to share. Listen, weigh the advice, talk to your doctor and then come back and tell us! This is the best sounding board I have found, lots to read and compare, lots of opinions and a great support system.

Welcome and (((((hugs)))))
