Palpitations

[cheekything]

I have been having persistent palpitations for the last four days, the doctor says Im fine. Apparently stress is doing this, so am I actually physically affecting my heart ? with making it miss a beat

No your not,its just your body responding to you being stressed. If I have a palpatation a quick cough puts it right. The more you think about them the more they will happen, Try and relax.

palpitations can be quite alarming if doc says your o k and has diagnosed stress have a look at your lifestyle is there one particular factor causing you to be stressed or a number of things ? try deep breathing exercises, good luck
