If you are looking for information or case about palpitations or heart races, this article shows another example from someone on my group, Linda. She not only gets palpitations, her heart races. Do you get that also? That's when she goes to ER. She is so upset she can't even begin to tell me. She feels so drained after it is over! She almost has to stay in bed the next day. Hers also happens at night. She has not worked for 8 weeks now.
Her life is at a standstill. She dread going to bed at night. She is also getting severe anxiety attacks now. She is on xanax. She is waiting to hear from me again. She is really upset and does not know where to turn to.
I truly feel for her. I "freaked" out so bad the first time this happened to me. The heart was palpitating and the feeling like the blood was going to 'rush' right out of my body. I also got prickles up the back of my neck and would feel very hot and sweaty. I raced to the doctor as well and they basically could tell me nothing. They'll want to put you on ad's (anti depressants) which I guess could help some people - but it is not the only answer. Many times the prescription meds just create more and 'different' problems that we then need more meds for!
Please remember that your body is reacting to something. Allergies, hypoglycemia (sugar will really bring this on with me), and another thing that happened to me once was I went to the dentist and had some fillings done and he had put 'epinephrine' in the shot, without asking me about it. Well I freaked in my body for 2 straight days! My blood was rushing, I could do nothing but pace the floor and it was horrid.
Believe me this can be helped by diet, herbs and lots of things - don't despair!
