Has anyone found that their heart palpitations are decreasing over time? I had an onset of palpitations 4 months ago along with severe anxiety. Anxiety, palpitations, feeling of shortness of breath and heavy breathing last 24x7 and came out of nowhere. Have made multiple cardio tests and blood tests and all normal so far. The palpitations and anxiety are debilitating. Have started Accupuncture 1 month ago 2-3x a week and it has helped a lot in addition to meditation, breathing exercises. Has anyone tried acupuncture and were you able to get back to normal. Doctors so far are all indicating that this is perimenopause/menopause transition and unfortunately is per of the hormonal changes. So scary. I also find that exercises are difficult because the palpitations get stronger. Walking a lot has been ok for the most part but any more rigorous exercise increases the internal shaking of the heart which gives a sinking feeling of fear. So exercise does not work even though it is supposed to help.
I have not started HRT or anxiety meds because I am sensitive to side effects and new symptoms of side effects throw me off into stronger anxiety. Also my HR is too low for beta blockers. So trying to go the Chinese medicine way to help get back to normal.
For what is worth, the initial onset of these symptoms also had resulted in increased heart rate (tachycardia) and high blood pressure and both have normalized and are low now thankfully. But the heart palpitations and internal shaking feeling and anxiety are persistent and non stop.
Would appreciate any advice.
