Heart Palpitations.. What Do Yours Feel Like? Posted: 02-08-06 15:50pm
I have been having "heart palpitations"
for the last couple months now. From my
research, the phrase heart palpitations is
very vauge, and can feel like and canbe
caused by many different things. I
struggle trying to find the words to
describe them. Can anyone who has them
describe them to me? I just wander how
many other people feel these as well.
Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure exactly what they are either,
but what I call them: when my heart is
beating normally, then all of a sudden
feels like a big thump or group of thumps
that seem to be out of rythym with how my
heart was beating normally. They catch
you by surprise and freak the heck out of
you. So for me, that's how I describe
them.

Yeah... That is definitely like how they
are for me too. They are certainly scary
and I wish I could make them stop......
Have you found anything that has helped
yours or anything that tends to bring them
on?

No I haven't found a way to stop them, and
I can't really tell what brings them on,
but I notice they always happen when i'm
sitting still and trying to relax and have
quiet time. Not sure why, but that's
always what happens w/ me.

Yeah... They always hit me when I am
sitting down relaxing as well, hardly ever
when I am up moving around. The only
correlation I have been able to link to
them is that I tend to notice them about
1/2 to one hour after I eat... Usually
dinner. My doctor told me that they are
most likely pvc (premature ventricular
contractions) and they are harmless, they
just feel bad. I have looked into them
and they are definitely a possibility.
You may want to check them out and see if
you can relate to them. Best wishes...
Keep in touch!

I have the very same thing. I kept
forgetting to call my doc and express my
concern (my grandmother had double bypass
and was a diabetic).
I feel much better about it, but i'll
still ask all the same. Thanks all
