I've been trying as many calming exercises as I can. I have such anxiety over my heart rate, I think I'm having a panic attack. I do deep breathing and meditation. I think this is connected to my Thyroid for sure. I feel like my body is all out of balance.. I see so many Dr.'s and no one can help me..

I had cancer of my thyroid so had it removed about 15 years ago. I have afib and 3 failed ablations. I recently started Cranial Sacral Therapy and my heart seems to have calmed down. My cardiologist may tell me differently but I don't feel it jumping and flipping in my chest anymore. It may not be for everyone but it has certainly helped me. I think when you are anxious about afib you will try anything.

Lori, are you working with someone at a meditation center of some kind? Or doing it just on your own? If you go to the meditation center they will help you to find a better way to help you calm yourself down with meditation. I know that I have to be very aware that I am not setting myself off by worrying so much about my crazy heartbeat and then it’s a vicious circle isn’t it?
