I'm not much of a water drinker but do force myself and it's worth it sometimes. When I get up too fast in the mornings my heart will POUND real hard and fast for like 3-4-5 minutes then slow a bit very freaky

I get heart palpitations when I’m feeling especially anxious. And it can be just an underlying sense of anxiety, not necessarily a full on panic attack. I find that dehydration can bring on heart palpitations or a faster than normal heart rate. If I drink a lot of water, it often resolves itself. 💕

I have been feeling “flutters” in my chest for a few years. My drs thought it was related to a medication I was on. I went off of it but it’s still happening occasionally. I did the heart monitor thing but it didn’t show anything much. I’m curious about what someone above said about dehydration… interesting.

What condition if you don't mind my asking, you don't have to say if you do not want to... Just thought I'd ask. I still have to make myself a doctor's appointment anyways. I'm just scared what I'll find out, even though all tests have always showed normal. My doctor wrote a referral for a heart monitor for four days just still waiting on that to come through

Well thank you, I've had severe anorexia in my past, I'm up to 125-130 now after having my now 2 year old. But I have poor eating habits and bad at drinking water like I should.

my palpitations were a symptom of an insanely rare genetic condition, but if you're clean and sober, you probably just have palpitations related to The Before Times. not at all unheard of and perfectly normal, it's nothing to worry about and it happens to everyone sometimes
