The usual, low salt, low sugar, low stress, some exercise, positive images in music film etc., and some vitamin supplements can be helpful for some. Look up heart health online and see what you can find. Have afib every so often is part of the illness for most.
Hi Will. I've always had an irregular heart rhythm and was taking Propranolol. In November I started having more and more palpitations. I wound up at the ER with my heart bouncing all over the place. They called my cardiologist and he changed my medication to metoprolol and sent me home. The following Monday for the entire week I had every cardiac test they could do. Bottom line was my heart was in great shape I just have PVC's and they may go away or stay. Great :(. My primary doctor asked how things are going and I had to tell him things weren't easy. My husband was going to Germany for 3 months after traveling 2 weeks every month for the last year and a half, I retired from nursing and my daughter got married. He increased my Zoloft, reassured me that these things were normal and said one day they may just stop. I noticed when I get a little more stressed my palpitations increase, but with the increase in Zoloft my palpitations have decreased immensely.
Hi Will, this happened to me this last fall, I moved, husband had surgery, all the same time, lots of stress. Do you drink a lot of caffeine, alcohol, under a lot of stress recently? My doc also put me on metropolol, and I take .25 mg of Zoloft to help with the anxiety that these cause for me, the meds have helped immensely, but like you I still get the breakthrough ones that scare you, good luck🙏🏻
